	The Resounding Sound of Cindy Blackman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Blackman’s layered, gauze-like attire, bassist George Mitchel’s thick dreads and nose piercing, and piano/keyboardist Carlton Holms’ euro-chic, technophile garb immediately signify a departure from conventional jazz’s traditional jacket and tie presentation.
		Yet surveying Blackman’s set-up before she took the stage for last Thursday’s show at the club Blues Alley, it was somehow apparent before hearing a single ping from Blackman’s wide, dimpled ride, that it was prepared to provide a penetrating ring replete with rich, rolling overtones.
		Blackman’s comping demonstrated an unusual ability to maintain precise time while keeping almost solo-like swirls of alternate voicing and rhythmic change flowing behind her band’s soloists, without overwhelming or disrupting the free development of their ideas.

		It was her first appearance in Scotland as a leader, and it was apparent from the opening bars that she took her leadership role seriously.

		Cindy Blackman has led a long series of mostly acoustic jazz dates for the Muse and High Note labels.
		Blackman took time off from touring with rocker Lenny Kravitz to cut her fourth record, on which she leads a band including bassist Ron Carter, pianist Kenny Barron and Gary Bartz on alto sax.
		Cindy Blackman's debut as a leader finds the talented drummer showing a great deal of confidence and holding her own with her illustrious sidemen: trumpeter Wallace Roney, either altoist Kenny Garrett or (on two songs) tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, pianist Larry Willis, and Buster Williams or Clarence Seay on bass.

	Bagatellen: Cindy Blackman - A Lil' Somethin', Somethin' (32 Jazz)
		Cindy Blackman, whose debut on disc predated Ibarras’s by nearly a decade, probably experienced ambivalence toward her skills on similar grounds.
		Blackman exercises welcome restraint on many of them, recognizing the value in abetting her colleagues with steady accents and asides rather than bowling them over with obvious and easy bombast.
		Standouts include the press roll extravaganza of “Spank” and the delicate brush ornaments of “Missing You.” Hearing Blackman put her kit through the paces it’s easy to wish that she would quit her current lucrative gig as drummer with British Soul diva Joss Stone and assemble another band of her own.

	Cindy Blackman
		Last spring, drummer Cindy Blackman had thousands shaking their heads (and their booties) at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, where she backed Lenny Kravitz.
		Blackman is consistent regardless of the context: consistently propulsive, in the manner bequeathed to her by the departed legend Tony Williams.
		She can, in fact, nail late-era Williams with uncanny precision (an awe-inspiring experience), but her group is self-consciously modeled after an earlier period, the last days of the second great Miles Davis Quintet.

		While one would not guess so by the soft lines of her face, Cindy Blackman has now been on the modern jazz scene for nearly twenty years.
		Following from Blackman's main reference point of Tony Williams, this is very atmospheric modal music which carries a lot of the spirit over from that “sound's” main formulators, Miles Davis and John Coltrane.
		Whereas Cindy Blackman's previous two releases for HighNote were mixed successes, there is not a lot of hesitation here in giving this record an unqualified endorsement.

		The live experience is worth seeing if only because of the full band which includes camp and funky guitarist Craig Ross, bassist Jack Daley and show-stealing female drummer Cindy Blackman.
		At one point, after performing American Woman, Cindy shows off her solo drumming skills for almost five minutes before going straight into Are You Gonna Go My Way.
