On 2008's Shayari, Blake, who is joined by Jack DeJohnette, Christian McBride and Regina Carter, shows that the wide-toned saxophonist's range, including lyrical phrasing on ballads to weaving some intricate lines on up-tempo cuts.
2. RON MILES GROUP @ DAZZLE, 11/30
One of Denver's finest trumpeters, Ron Miles has a gorgeous and unmistakable tone, and his lyrical phrasing works quite well in pretty much in any kind of instrumentation, as on latest effort, Quiver, which features long-time collaborator Bill Frisell and drummer Brian Blade, or on 2007's Blossom/Stone. For this show, Miles teams up with pianist Eric Moon, guitarist Roger Green, bassist Myles Sloniker and drummer Amy Shelley.
