Guitar ace Roni Ben-Hur to play rare local show

Some years ago, I wrote about a new album from jazz guitarist Roni Ben-Hur and suggested that the Dakota Jazz Club might book him for a show. That didn’t come to pass, but I succeeded with the St. Paul JCC’s music impresario Jeffrey Richman. The Israeli native will perform in concert on the evening of Saturday, Feb. 12 at the JCC. The show is co-sponsored by the American Jewish World and Mount Zion Temple. Ben-Hur is highly regarded by jazz musicians and those in the know; now Twin Citians have a chance to see the maestro live. — M.S.
