O’s Notes: Drummer Cindy Blackman has been around the New York jazz scene for about 20 years playing with artists like Joe Henderson and Cassandra Wilson and with her own band. Her playing is sharp, pronounced and aggressive. Someday is neo-bop including originals and daringly reconstructed standards. The sound and mood are open, inviting you to reflect.
