SHEILA JORDAN, RONI BEN-HUR AND HARVIE S

Soapbox Gallery is dedicated to presenting music, performance and works of art that engage the issues of our time.The room itself is a beautiful, meditative environment that was designed with state-of-the art acoustics to showcase exceptional musicianship from around the world.The gallery was founded on the premise that art and culture are powerful reminders of our shared humanity, which can help to shape identity and promote social evolution.Soapbox was inspired by the idea that a simple, humble box–that one stands on and delivers a speech from–can start a movement and perhaps even help to change the world.It’s our mission to create space for civil conversation between those with differing views. The intent of our programming is to create a dialogue where everyone has a seat at the table.

In-person and live-streamFor the stream go here: https://www.soapboxgallery.org/events/roni-ben-hur-sept Legendary vocalist, Sheila Jordan, who’s career spans over more then six decades joins guitarist Roni Ben-Hur, and bassist Harvie S to reenact her first album, now a classic, Shades of Sheila, recorded in 1962.“Sheila, Roni and Harvie presented the songs as vital, living, breathing works of art with depths still to explore, surprises still to be found, and pleasures still to be shared. Her remarkable sense of time and phrasing remains colored with a healthy dose of the blues and, in fact, she chose to open with Oscar Brown, Jr.’s “Hum Drum Blues” which was a gutsy choice in 1962, and remains one in 2021, proving that the audience needn’t worry about making allowances for years, or changing tastes, or anything else. The tremendous response of the audience was not for some attempt at nostalgically recalling past musical triumphs. The applause and cheers were inspired by singing so vital, so smart and so bristling with ideas and with life, that I can’t imagine a better example of vocal jazz to be found in the city in 2021. I felt like I was eavesdropping on some sweet and rare dream of jazzy perfection. I was happy and grateful to be in her presence and to be touched by her timeless art.” Bistro AwardsSupporting Musicians: Shila Jordan, vocals, Roni Ben-Hur, guitar, Harvie S, bass
