Scientists say no immediate threat to humans The Putnam County Department of Health confirmed on Jan. 17 that the carcass of a wild goose found at Green Chimneys in Brewster last month tested positive for the highly pathogenic avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu. On Thursday (Jan. 30), the state Department of Agriculture and Markets said five more birds - three wild and two domestic - had tested positive at Green Chimneys, which provides therapeutic services for children that focus on animals and nature. The staff is being monitored for symptoms of illness, although none have been tested for avian flu, the county health department said. Green Chimneys has paused its public programs. The birds at Green Chimneys are among four confirmed cases of the disease statewide in the past two weeks: On Jan. 21, health officials on Long Island announced a positive case at a commercial poultry farm with over 100,000 birds. The facility, Crescent Duck Farm in Suffolk County, has been placed under quarantine while its staff is tested. Its entire stock will be destroyed. On Wednesday (Jan. 29), the Ulster County Department of Health announced that all but two of about 50 chickens and ducks at an unnamed farm had died of avian influenza. The remaining birds were euthanized. "Human contact with the birds was limited to the owners and a veterinarian, who will remain under surveillance for symptoms over the next 10 days," the department said in a statement. On Thursday, the state said it had confirmed two cases in Romulus, in the Finger Lakes, with tests pending on birds found dead on Seneca Lake and Onondaga Lake near Syracuse. Residents who encounter dead birds should avoid making contact. On Wednesday, on Perks Boulevard in Philipstown, Stephen Heath reported finding a dead hawk in his yard that did not appear to have injuries. He contacted the state Department of Environmental Conservation but was told that the agency isn't collecting further samples for testing. It advised him to triple-bag the carcass while wearing gloves and a mask before throwing it in the trash. Suspected bird flu cases can be reported online at bit.ly/DECbirdflu, but an agency representative said there's not much that can be done for wild birds. People should assume any dead bird is infected and follow the guidelines at cdc.gov/bird-flu/prevention. According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is unusual for humans to be infected by avian influenza viruses and it typically occurs only because of close or lengthy unprotected contact (i.e., no gloves or respiratory or eye protection) with infected birds "or places that sick birds or their saliva, mucous and feces have touched." Infection can also occur through an intermediary animal, such as a cat or cow. The CDC has confirmed 67 cases of bird flu in humans, nearly all attributed to close contact with sick cattle or poultry, and one death, announced on Jan. 6 - an older Louisiana resident who contracted avian influenza from backyard chickens. There have been no reported human infections in New York state. The first bird flu viruses emerged in China in 1996 and Hong Kong in 1997, leading to 18 confirmed human infections. The first U.S. case was recorded in 2022. Avian influenza showed up in Dutchess County in 2022. Over the past two years, the virus has been evolving and has been detected in over 40 mammalian species, said Dr. Nahid Bhadelia, an infectious diseases physician and founding director of Boston University's Center on Emerging Infectious Diseases. "As of last spring, this virus has made a jump from birds into dairy cows, which has led to a scenario where many more humans may now come into contact with cows on dairy farms that are being infected," she said. "That has led to what we call 'sporadic infections,' where the infection is transmitted from an animal into humans. Thankfully, we do not see any evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission." Because tens of millions...

System seeks to help prevent violence The report came at 10 p.m., an hour when many teenagers are scrolling through social media posts, texting or calling friends and playing video games. But for one Putnam County student on Sept. 6, the late-night activity consisted of emailing threats to Green Chimneys, the Brewster school for special-needs children where the 13-year-old was enrolled. Five days later, after interviewing the teen and the parents and searching a computer, Putnam deputies arrested and charged the minor with one count of making a terroristic threat, a felony, and referred the student to the probation department. Police learned of the emails through Putnam County's year-old Threat Assessment Management system (TAM), an online portal that schools, residents and businesses can use to report threats made against them or someone else, along with concerns about people harming themselves. TAM was adopted in response to the racially motivated shooting deaths, in May 2022, of 10 Black people at a supermarket in Buffalo. The system, online at pctam.net, has two goals: to prevent troubled people from committing similar crimes and to connect them with counseling, drug treatment and other services. Nearly all the 40 or so reports received over the last year have come from schools and ranged from students indirectly threatening each other on the school bus to far more significant threats, said Sara Servadio, the county's mental health and social services commissioner. Acting on those reports is a multi-agency team that, in addition to Servadio's department and the Sheriff's Office, includes the Bureau of Emergency Services, district attorney's office, probation department and Putnam-Northern Westchester Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES). Servadio said she is not surprised by the number of reports. New York schools outside of New York City reported 95 bomb threats and 1,395 other types of threats during the 2022-23 school year, as well as 1,088 incidents of weapons possession, according to the most recent state data. Haldane reported three weapons possession incidents and one threat in 2022-23 and Beacon had two weapons incidents and three threats in 2021-22, the most recent figures available. "I'm confident that we have prevented something from happening, whether it was someone toward themselves or others," said Servadio. Reporting a Threat Putnam County's Threat Assessment Management system at pctam.net requires that anyone reporting a concern give the name, address and other information about the person making the threat and describe the nature of the threat. They will also be asked to answer six questions that have been identified by the FBI as indicators of violence, said Capt. Michael Knox of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office. It's a similar experience to calling 911, he said. The questions include: Has the person "directly threatened others or stated their intention of conducting an act of violence against others?" Have they "demonstrated behaviors, including direct or indirect threats, or movement from thought to action, indicating violence is necessary and justified to resolve personal grievances and/or to affect social or political change?" Has the person "exhibited changes to their normal life, such as stopping medications and/or substance use, withdrawal from life pattern, including social media, and/or increase in activity?" Residents can also upload images, such as ones showing threatening social media posts. The system asks for the name and contact information of the person reporting a threat but gives them the option to decline being contacted. Putnam County had been working with schools on identifying and reporting threats when Gov. Kathy Hochul in May 2022 issued an executive order requiring counties to develop plans to prevent domestic terrorism, said Putnam County Sheriff Kevin McConville. In August 2022, Hochul authorized $10 million to help counties create threat-management teams, wit...

You can find Dan Simpson's Twitch stream here & the the rest of his content via his linktree below:  ⁠https://linktr.ee/idansimpson⁠ We have plenty more subterranean goodness in this EP, including impressive, housing market-circumventing tunnel encampments built into river banks in Sacramento, nauseating trench news from the front in Ukraine, and a major escalation in the Year of the Tunnel MindWar... Namely, reports that a team of Israeli academics (including a former employee of the CERN Hadron Collider), governmental antiquarians, and scientists employed by Rafael Industries (one of the Israeli military-industrial complex's primary R&D laboratories and a major missile manufacturer) are assembling an array of muon particle detectors to map the subterranean passages below the Temple Mount, which they believe snake from the Gihon Spring to the ruins of the Temple of Solomon. We dig into the eschatological & apocalyptic import of their efforts and how the project is undoubtedly tied to plans to claim total Israeli sovereignty over the holy sites on the Temple Mount & construct the Third Temple to harken the Moshiach's arrival.  From there, we illustrate the closeness of Chabad Lubavitch and Mossad, examining two sources that shed new light on the Rebbe Schneerson's influence & American & Israeli intel ties, as well as the two organizations' frequently overlapping membership. We then segue into our discussion w/ Dan Simpson by rattling off some facts regarding the Chabad (Mossad proxy) presence on university campuses worldwide, which once again brings that funny odd couple Shmuley Boteach & Cory Booker into view.  And then, once Dan Simpson hops on, we sprint through the first half of our excavation of the Israeli campus surveillance dragnet and the Columbia prof Shai Davidai's placement within it. We go deep on his CV, his incredibly sus family connections, and end with an examination of Shai Davidai's Grandpa's intel-connected career. Namely, his time as Head of Maintenance and eventual deputy CEO of the main Israeli airline "El Al", which got him entangled in all kinds of interesting espionage maneuvers, including: the Eichmann abduction, the Entebbe Operation, and the recruitment of ex-I*O*F paratroopers to work as plainclothes mercs on El Al planes to guard from potential attacks & hijackings. We unpack his public remarks regarding the use of these mercenaries, his contradictory disavowal of Mordechai Rahamin (who gunned down a PFLP militant after he'd surrendered, seemingly), and, most intriguingly, the fact that Shai's grandpappy met with SHABAK/Shin Bet prior to the first ever skyjacking of an Israeli flight (Flight 426), which was an impactful retaliation in the history of Israeli aggression. Benjamin Davidai & other officials were given intel that attacks were imminent prior to the attack, and we juxtapose this curiosity with the inconsistencies of Oct. 7th, considering the implications. In the next part, which should be dropping shortly, we continue with our thorough, forensic investigation of sus Davidai family history, the Israeli campus surveillance dragnet, and the ethnostate's war against B*D*S and campus activism.  Songs:  | Jamiroquai - "Deeper Underground" (Thanks, Ferg) |  | Matt Mulholland - "My Heart Will Go On - Recorder by Candlelight" ... we found more edit gold by using this as the backing track for Shai's open letter lmao |  | Thelonious Monk - "Green Chimneys" (from the album "Underground") |

Founded in 1947 by Brewster Rotarian and 7210 Past District Governor (1962-63) Dr, Samuel “Rollo” Ross, Green Chimneys is recognized as a worldwide leader in animal-assisted therapy and educational activities for children with special needs. RadioRotary learned all about this very unusual facility for children on the autistic spectrum when the current when Dr. Edward Placke visited the program by Zoom. A staff of 500 helps the children, ages 6 through 20, but much of the healing and learning (outside of regular schoolwork) is through spending time with the many animals of the farm—22 horses, alpacas and llamas, all sort of raptors, a flock of geese, and more. Even students who do not speak to other children or their parents, sometimes learn to speak to the animals.

David Mehr is the Assistant Vice President at CCS Fundraising, an organization that got its initial start in 1947 as a Community Counseling Service. It has a long history of providing philanthropic counsel and service to a spectrum of organizations and healthcare, the arts, and academia, medical schools, hospitals, public broadcasting, and conservation groups.  As CCS Assistant Vice President, David has engaged in lead studies and campaigns for organizations including the Diocese of Brooklyn, Gracie Square Hospital, St. Joseph Health System, Delbarton School, Muhlenberg College, St. Peter's University, University of Maryland's St. Joseph Medical Center, and Green Chimneys.  David is currently working with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee on the Love One Another campaign. In this episode… Philanthropy is a team sport, but many organizations treat it as a one-person game, one that revolves around the development person.  On the other hand, the development person finds it difficult to communicate effectively with leadership which leads to a struggle in fundraising. According to David Mehr, there are specific leadership and fundraising practices that boards, CEOs, and development professionals need to imbibe to address these problems and succeed at philanthropy, In this episode of Philanthropy212, David Mehr of CCS Funding talks to host Penny Cowden about the critical role of leadership and fundraising practices in order to drive success in any philanthropic organization. They also talk about the need for stable work amongst professionals, how leaders can create a culture of philanthropy and development, and more. Stay tuned.

I det här avsnittet får vi höra Michael Kaufmann berätta om en verksamhet i USA, Green Chimneys.

Efter ett långt och välbehövligt uppehåll är Helena och Sara nu äntligen tillbaka. De mjukstartar här med ett avsnitt om IAHAIOs konferens på Green Chimneys som Sara besökte. De bjuder också på ett samtal med IAHAIOs ordförande Marie-José Enders-Slegers.  Mer om Green Chimneys kan du läsa om här: https://www.greenchimneys.org/ Mer om Marie-José kan du läsa här: http://iahaio.org/team/marie-jose-enders-slegers-phd/

After retiring as a superintendent of a state school district, Dr. Ed Placke got a call from Green Chimneys. At first Ed, who has over 35 years of experience in education, hesitated to take the call, but after 15 seconds of visiting the 160-acre farm, he knew it was the place for him. Green Chimneys educates students with disabilities from ages 5 to 21. The school's goal is to guide their students across the bridge to adulthood successfully. Throughout this podcast consider how important the lessons at Green Chimneys are for not only the children learning them, but also how important they can be in all careers and how they could be incorporated into everyone's lives.  Green Chimneys is not your typical “boarding school”. They have over 100 boarders at the school and 150 students who commute. Their goal is to help provide coping skills and strategies so that within 1-2 years the students can move back home and re-enter their public school systems. One of the driving factors for Ed's work and all of Green Chimneys' staff is that the employment rate for adults with disabilities is less than 30%, and with the addition of behavioral or psychiatric issues, the employment rate drops down to single digits. Through research with schools, companies and agencies, Green Chimneys found that the primary reason people lose their jobs is that they lack soft skills. On campus, Green Chimneys makes sure to teach their students how to work with their peers, important communication skills and how to be active listeners. Utilizing standard classroom learning and working to care for the over 300 animals on the farm, students learn academic, social, emotional and many more necessary skills to help them succeed. Each student who comes to Green Chimneys represents the spectrum of humanity. Youngsters come with a variety of different skills and the staff's focus is to capitalize on each child's strengths and to extinguish their weaker skills. Each student also has their own individualized education plan with particular goals and outcomes regarding more than just their academic experience.  A team of staffers reviews the students' progress and goals each quarter to make sure that Green Chimneys continues to guide the children on the path to success. Early in his career as an administrator, Ed thought that he needed to bring the energy and focus to the job in order to lead. However, over time Ed realized that was not a way to create a sustainable team environment. Now, Ed tries to cultivate each team members' confidence and independence by developing an organization where accountability, communication and high energy for each member is key.  Although one of his challenges is still learning how to balance when to let his staff take control of a situation and when he needs to step in and make decisions, he remains extremely passionate about his work at Green Chimneys. Ed spends 10-15 hours a day working, but it helps that he also lives on campus. As a former special education teacher, Dr. Ed Placke knows that his job it to help each of his students. One of Ed's greatest joys is when they release a bird of prey when a student completes their educational program at Green Chimneys. Ed has learned throughout his career that the skills these students bring to the table far outweigh any needs they may have. He is motivated every day to work with the students to help each child develop across the bridge to adulthood and have a successful life, one soul at a time.

WCSU alum Ryan Reynolds left the university and found a great career with Green Chimneys in Brewster. He talks to WCSU 411 about opportunities for current students too. (25:30) Chantel Williams joins Paul to lay out the upcoming events here at the university.

Founded in 1947 by the Ross family when Dr. Barney Ross bought a farm called Green Chimneys, the Green Chimneys School today has become widely recognized as a superior residential and day center providing high-level treatment for children ages 5–18 with special needs. The school’s goal is to keep children out of psychiatric hospitals and to help them lead healthy, productive lives. Using 400 animals–including camels!–as part of the therapy, children learn new paths to avoid problematic behavior. The Green Chimneys’ Paul C. Kupchok Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, featuring birds of prey, is a well known Hudson Valley tourist attraction, and the center, open to the public on weekends from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., receives about 20,000 visitors a year.

Thelonious Monk had a long and productive contract with Columbia records but in 1968 it was coming to an end. Soon after his saxophonist of 11 years, Charlie Rouse was leaving and Monk's health was a bit fragile as well. This was the penultimate Columbia album and the final documentation of Monk's working Quartet. The album was called "Underground" and it's iconic cover won more awards and attention than the fine music therein. The album featured some brand new compositions by Monk and 3 delightful trio tracks without Rouse. One rare track was with vocalist Jon Hendricks who sung his words to Monk's tune "In Walked Bud". That in itself was something very new for Monk. The 3 full Quartet tracks with Charlie Rouse on tenor saxophone, Larry Gales on bass and Ben Riley on drums are superb and the 3 tracks are all brand new Monk compositions. "Boo Boo's Birthday" is for Monk's daughter Barbara and a wonderful ballad in 3/4 time (Monk's only waltz) is called "Ugly Beauty" and the best is "Green Chimneys" in which the band stretches out for 13 minutes.This is one fine album and was recorded in December 1967 to February 1968. Check it out this evening or when you have time...it's worth it!

TRANSFORMATIONSJazz guitarist Roni Ben-Hur has earned a sterling reputation as a musician and educator, renowned for his golden tone, improvisational brilliance, compositional lyricism and ability to charm peers, students and listeners alike. Eminent jazz critic Gary Giddins wrote in the Village Voice: "A limber and inventive guitarist, Ben-Hur keeps the modernist flame alive and pure, with a low flame burning in every note... [He's] a guitarist who knows the changes and his own mind." Ben-Hur - born in Israel in 1962 but a longtime American citizen, now based in New Jersey - has released nine albums as leader or co-leader, with Time Out New York calling him "a formidable and consummately lyrical guitarist." The Star-Ledger of New Jersey summed him up this way: "A deep musician, a storyteller, Ben-Hur works with a warm, glowing sound and has an alluring way of combining engaging notes with supple rhythm." Along with releasing acclaimed educational products - including the instructional DVD Chordability and method book Talk Jazz: Guitar - Ben-Hur has directed international jazz camps for nearly 15 years. Jazz guitar star Russell Malone got it right when he said: "Everything Roni does is beautiful. He has the magic touch."Ben-Hur's latest album is Our Thing (Motéma Music, 2012), a co-led trio project with Panamanian-born bassist Santi Debriano that also features Brazilian drummer Duduka Da Fonseca. Marked by soulful grooves, telepathic interplay and a rich, organic ensemble sound, Our Thing ranges from deeply swinging interpretations of Thelonious Monk's "Green Chimneys" and Irving Berlin's "Let's Face the Music and Dance" to a pair of poetic tunes by Antonio Carlos Jobim and several beautiful originals that channel the players' Middle Eastern, Latin and Brazilian heritages through a post-bop prism. One of Ben-Hur's compositions is a fresh rendition of a longtime favorite in his songbook: "Anna's Dance," written for one of his two daughters. DownBeat called Our Thing "mesmerizing," while New York City Jazz Record captured it colorfully: "Ben-Hur, Debriano and Da Fonseca sway with the grace of palm trees, exuding a laidback introspection." The Buffalo News encapsulated the album by describing it as "delectable jazz internationalism of near-Olympic variety. Ben-Hur and Debriano are players of first-rate fluency and taste."Ben-Hur's family relocated from Tunisia to Dimona, Israel, where he was born into large family - teaching him good ensemble values early on. The guitarist began playing in wedding bands and in Tel Aviv clubs as a teenager enraptured by the recordings of Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Jim Hall and Kenny Burrell. The young musician also came to love the classical Spanish repertoire via Segovia, hearing a Moorish sound that resonated with his family's North African roots. Later, after moving to New York in 1985, he would fall for Brazilian music, particularly through the work of guitarist-composer Baden Powell. When Ben-Hur came onto the New York jazz scene, he was fortunate to be taken under the wing of veteran jazz pianist Barry Harris, a Monk disciple and Grammy Award-winner who led the influential Jazz Cultural Theater during the mid-'80s in Manhattan. The up-and-coming guitarist played in Harris's band, absorbing musical wisdom and life lessons.Teaching has become increasingly important to Ben-Hur over the years, as he has developed an international reach as an educator. As founder and director of the jazz program at the Lucy Moses School at the Kaufman Center in Manhattan since 1994, Ben-Hur has educated a multitude of jazz enthusiasts in ensemble playing, improvisation and jazz guitar. Along with his jazz camp with Santi Debriano in the South of France, Ben-Hur led camps for years in Patterson, N.Y. More recently, through his company Adventures in Jazz - which he operates with his wife, singer Amy London - Ben-Hur conducts jazz camps in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, in Istanbul, Turkey, and in Schroon Lake, N.Y., teaching workshops in straight-ahead jazz, Latin jazz and Brazilian jazz with Debriano and other teachers. With Brazilian bassist Nilson Matta, Ben-Hur also co-leads Samba Meets Jazz camps in Paraty, Brazil, and in Bar Harbor, Maine.With his partner in the Samba Meets Jazz camps, bassist Nilson Matta, Ben-Hur released the album Mojave (Motéma, 2011), which also featured drummer Victor Lewis and percussionist Café. The album was the second in Motéma's Jazz Therapy series. The series was co-founded by Ben-Hur and the label to raise money and awareness for the Dizzy Gillespie Memorial Fund of New Jersey's Englewood Hospital and Medical Center Foundation, which provides care for uninsured jazz musicians. The first album in the series wasSmile, Ben-Hur's 2008 duo set with veteran guitarist Gene Bertoncini.Ben-Hur and Matta are each masters of a musical tradition, the guitarist with bebop and the bassist with samba. Mojave sees them meld the two worlds, in league with New York jazz drummer Victor Lewis and Brazilian percussionist Café. They range from pieces by such Brazilian icons as Jobim, Baden Powell and choro pioneer Pixinguinha to Burt Bacharach's "The Look of Love" and deftly rhythmic originals by all four players. One of Ben-Hur's contributions is the moody beauty "Eretz" (Hebrew for "land"), another of his signature tunes interpreted afresh. The Rochester City Newspaper offered a glowing review of the album: "Mojave is magical from start to finish... The combination of Matta's samba and Ben-Hur's swing is a marriage made in heaven.Acclaim for Smile, Ben-Hur's dual-guitar album with Gene Bertoncini, was equally wide-spread. The New York Times lauded the "sophisticated and lyrical" musicianship, and DownBeat simply called the album "stunning," as the players stretch from the Charlie Chaplin title track and the Arlen-Mercer standard "Out of This World" to an enterprising take on Roberta Flack's hit "Killing Me Softly" and two of Ben-Hur's personal standards - his "Anna's Dance," written for one daughter, and "Sofia's Butterfly," penned for the other. Jazz sage Nat Hentoff praised the "lyrically meditative dialogue" between the two guitarists in the Wall Street Journal, while the Washington Post was enamored by "the dazzling dexterity and tasteful elegance of these duets."Two other key albums in Ben-Hur's discography are Fortuna (Motéma, 2009) and Keepin' It Open (Motéma, 2007), both quintet sets with piano vet Ronnie Matthews and ultra-swinging drummer Lewis Nash, plus percussionist Steve Kroon. Keepin' It Open, which also includes bassist Santi Debriano and trumpeter Jeremy Pelt in the group, has a wide purview, from Monk's rollicking "Think of One" to a dark-hued old Sephardic melody, "Eshkolit." Tapping into his family's Sephardic Jewish roots and his love of the Spanish classical guitar repertoire, Ben-Hur recasts Granados' "Andaluza" as an ensemble piece. And the guitarist's originals include the finger-snapping "My Man, Harris," a tribute to his mentor Barry Harris. JazzTimes called the album "a delight from start to finish," while critic Scott Yanow singled out the guitarist on All Music, saying that Ben-Hur "can swing as hard as anyone."Fortuna, which has Rufus Reid on double-bass, sees Ben-Hur recast Albéniz's "Granada" with an ear for the early Israeli popular music influenced by the Moorish sound. Along with two Jobim numbers, the disc includes the Irving Berlin ballad "I Got Lost in his Arms" and Ben-Hur's funky original "Guess Who." Jazz scholar Dan Morgenstern listed Fortuna as one of his top 10 discs of 2009. JazzTimes described the album this way: "A keen story teller, Ben-Hur's dexterous, melodic and emotive playing is supported by a tight-knit cast of stellar musicians... his skill and warm tone underscoring the band's chemistry." All About Jazz said, "Fortuna is a sparkling ode to the brightness of life."Ben-Hur's album Signature (Reservoir, 2005) put the guitarist in the company of pianist John Hicks, bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Leroy Williams, again plus percussionist Steve Kroon. The tracks include the first appearance of Ben-Hur's gem "Eretz," plus two pieces by Villa-Lobos and tunes by Jobim and Cole Porter. DownBeat said: "Signature is a collection of consummately played music that matches the six-stringer's consistently creative melody reading, soloing and comping with the supportive work of superb sidemen. Ben-Hur's original compositions are similarly impressive, from opening burner 'Mama Bee,' which dazzles with a brilliantly constructed guitar solo, to 'Eretz,' a gorgeous ballad intended as a tribute to the guitarist's native Israel that feels like an instant standard."For Anna's Dance (Reservoir, 2001), Ben-Hur convened a combo of elders: Barry Harris on piano, Charles Davis on saxophone, Walter Booker on double-bass and Leroy Williams on drums. The highlights include the debut of Ben-Hur's title composition, as well as the Billy Strayhorn ballad "A Flower Is a Lovesome Thing." In the Village Voice, Gary Giddins said: "As eloquent as a cool breeze, this understated exercise in bebop equilibrium goes down so easy that you might underestimate the magic. Ben-Hur and Charles Davis, who trades in his Sun Ra baritone for suave tenor, speak Harris's lingo like natives." Ben-Hur's kick-started his discography with two bebop showcases.Sofia's Butterfly (TCB, 1998) saw the guitarist - with drummer Leroy Williams and bassist Lisle Atkinson in tow - offering much promise; there's the ultra-fluid virtuosity of his take on Monk's "Four in One," not to mention the first appearances of his original title tune and "Fortuna." Ben-Hur made his initial splash on record with Backyard (TCB, 1996), which presented him with the Barry Harris Trio.In addition to leading his own bands, Ben-Hur has shared the stage and the studio not only with the heroes and great peers mentioned above but with the likes of Cecil Payne, Etta Jones, Marcus Belgrave, Charles McPherson, Jimmy Heath, Clark Terry, Slide Hampton, Earl May, Teri Thornton and Bill Doggett. Ben-Hur regularly performs in the top jazz venues and in major festivals across the country and around the world. As an educator, he has established jazz programs in New York City high schools, along with presenting workshops for students of all ages in the U.S. and Europe. His instructional releases include the DVD Chordability (Motéma, 2011), which offers 20 lessons on chord voicings and jazz harmony for intermediate and advanced guitarists. He also translated "the Barry Harris method" to guitar with the publication Talk Jazz: Guitar (Mel Bay, 2003), which has appeared in English and Japanese editions.Ben-Hur’s latest album is Our Thing (Motéma Music, 2012), a co-led trio project with Panamanian-born bassist Santi Debriano that also features Brazilian drummer Duduka Da Fonseca. Marked by soulful grooves, telepathic interplay and a rich, organic ensemble sound, Our Thing ranges from deeply swinging interpretations of Thelonious Monk’s “Green Chimneys” and Irving Berlin’s “Let’s Face the Music and Dance” to a pair of poetic tunes by Antonio Carlos Jobim and several beautiful originals that channel the players’ Middle Eastern, Latin and Brazilian heritages through a post-bop prism. One of Ben-Hur’s compositions is a fresh rendition of a longtime favorite in his songbook: “Anna’s Dance,” written for one of his two daughters. DownBeat called Our Thing “mesmerizing,” while New York City Jazz Record captured it colorfully: “Ben-Hur, Debriano and Da Fonseca sway with the grace of palm trees, exuding a laidback introspection.” The Buffalo News encapsulated the album by describing it as “delectable jazz internationalism of near-Olympic variety. Ben-Hur and Debriano are players of first-rate fluency and taste.”To Visit Roni Ben-Hur's website CLICK HERE
