Shayari: n. (shy-ree) / In Urdu, Shaayaree is a type of poetry believed to be first heard in the courts of the Mughal Kings. Consisting of couplets, it is a highly stylized form of verse and considered extremely beautiful. In Hindi, it is written Shyree.

Multi-talented saxophonist Ron Blake inhabits many worlds -- and nowhere is this more apparent than on Shayari, Blake's third release on MACK AVENUE.




Highlighting performances by Jack DeJohnette, Christian McBride, Michael Cain, Regina Carter and Gilmar Gomes, Shayari reveals the complexities and innovation of Ron's musicianship. He is an in-demand session and group player (Meshell Ndegeocello, Joey DeFrancesco, Saturday Night Live Band), a forward thinking band leader, an educator recently named to the faculty of Juilliard, and a seasoned live performer whose stage presence captivates.

Produced by Michael Cain, Shayari combines fertile ground from each of Ron Blake's worlds to create an extraordinary landscape of its own.

  • Ron Blake is a killer! I had the honor of playing with him in high school band, and the stamp of musical greatness was evident even then!
