Ron Blake is an instrumentalist with a hard-swinging style who is known for hard bop and soul-jazz. He brings a gamut of influences to his work, from Dexter Gordon to Stanley Turrentine. Blake has three previous albums to his credit and he’s also been featured with Meshell Ndegéocello’s group, Spirit Music Jamia. Shayari (SHY-ree) is quite simply, one of the most compelling and evocative jazz albums of 2007. –forrest green III
