Definately,for the front yard

"Backyard is definately terrific front yard stuff,but the cd title is about all guitarist Roni Ben-Hur and pianist Barry Harris get wrong.Ben Hur's style-laid back with a kick meshes beautifully with the legendary Barry Harris and his trio with Leroy Williams on drums and Lisle Atkinson on bass.And there is a soulful take of Billy Strayhorn's 'Something to Live For' by

Ben-Hur's wife,Amy London.The cd includes several standards-and for anyone who links 'The Thrill Is Gone' to BB King,be sure to

check out this older version written by Brown and Henderson;even if you think BB owns the tune,he now has serious competition from Roni Ben-Hur & The Barry Harris Trio."
