On their 2018 release Introspection on Jazzhead Records, guitarist Roni Ben-Hur and bassist Harvie S succeed in presenting a guitar trio record that captures the timeless tradition of the ensemble while also producing exciting new sounds and timbres that set them apart. Together with Tim Horner on the drums, the veteran jazzmen offer a refreshingly simple and understated record that features fascinating interplay and a deep commitment to ensemble playing from all three men.
Introspection features underplayed selections from some of the most storied composers in jazz history, including Thelonious Monk (“Introspection”), Billy Strayhorn (“Blood Count”), Joe Henderson (“Serenity”) and Tadd Dameron (“Focus”).
