Rick Stone:
From fresh interpretations of jazz standards, to lyrically evocative originals, New York City based guitarist Rick Stone is an artist with a clear musical vision. His fluid, full-bodied sound pays homage to the great jazz guitar masters of the past while maintaining a deeply personal style with a contemporary edge.
Rick Stone began playing guitar at age nine in his hometown of Cleveland. He developed an early affinity for the blues, but it was in the mid-seventies that his passion for jazz was sparked after hearing a live performance of saxophonist Sonny Stitt. His musical quest led him to Berklee College of Music and then on to New York where he found a fertile and stimulating environment in Barry Harris' Jazz Cultural Theatre ...

2. roni ben-hur
Israeli born jazz guitarist Roni Ben-Hur's website includes bio, soundbites, cds, projects, etc ...
Winner of the JAZZIZ 2000 Reader's Poll for Best New Talent and a favorite of jazz critics since his emergence on the scene in the 1990's, guitarist, composer, arranger, teacher and author, Roni Ben-Hur, releases his fourth and most compelling CD as a leader, SIGNATURE (Reservoir-June 2005), featuring an All-Star cast including John Hicks - piano, Rufus Reid - bass, Leroy Williams - drums and Steve Kroon - percussion.
As its title implies, Ben-Hur's original treatments of such unusually diverse material reveals his evolution and accomplishment as a composer, arranger and leader of strength and substance, whose synthesis of styles and cultural influences defy category. He bravely covers new ground, reinterpreting jazz renditions of the brilliant classical Brazilian composer, Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras No. 2 and Choro No. 1. "Villa-Lobos' music evokes strong emotion in me connected to various phases of my life experience. I was finally able to give these emotions a voice, my voice, and tell my story through them." He continues the development of this concept throughout the CD in his passionate reinvention of an obscure Jobim tune, Luiza. Says Roni, "Jobim wrote this gorgeous tune for his daughter, Ana Luiza. My second daughter's name is also Anna Luiza, so it was very easy for me to connect with it. It's a song not often played, but in my mind, one of Jobim's masterpieces."
Roni recalls the lush standard, Time On My Hands, "I've played this song a great deal with my dear friend, and one of my inspirations, pianist Chris Anderson. This arrangement is his and I offer my rendition as a tribute to him and the beauty he's brought this world." Ben-Hur continues, "I, like everyone else, love Harold Arlen, and Blues in the Night represents a sort of bonding song to me. It talks about the pit falls in life, but feels more like sharing one's feelings with a friend, more than a lament." So In Love, the Cole Porter classic, "drew me in from the first time I heard it," says Roni. "Both the words and melody speak to me, and to my feelings for family, friends and a lot in this world." Of his adventurous and compelling originals Roni explains, "Eretz, which means land in Hebrew, is a prayer for peace, something we Jewish people haven't known for much too long, and that the whole world needs desperately ...
