Ron Blake talks about his new cd 'Shayari'

Highlighting performances by Jack DeJohnette, Christian McBride, Michael Cain, and Regina Carter, among others, Shayari reveals the complexities and innovation of Ron's musicianship. He is an in-demand session and group player (MeShell Ndegeocello, Saturday Night Live Band), a forward thinking band leader and educator recently named to the faculty of Juilliard, and a seasoned live performer whose stage presence captivates. "...a jazz force to be reckoned with." -- All Music Guide"...With all the influence in his vocabulary, Ron Blake's very much his own man and one of the greatest tenor players of our time...." -- Joey DeFrancesco "Ron Blake is beginning to emerge as a potent artist and bandleader in his own right...he delivers in the great 'singing' tradition of his heroes Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane." -- Bill Milkowski, Absolute Sound "(Shayari) has that great combination of yielding a very contemporary sound while maintaining the depth and feeling of a classic and timeless jazz recording....his playing has evolved to a deep level of harmonic depth and balance and he appears to be at that enviable place where he is able to state both lyrically and tonally what his psyche is conjuring up." - Jazz Improv
