ANOTHER LIFETIME

2010 release. Cindy Blackman’s new album, “Another Lifetime” is a tribute to her mentor, Tony Williams, one of the greatest drummers of all time. The album features some of the most exciting tracks from the eclectic recordings of “Tony Williams’ Lifetime”, a band which featured some of the seminal and most influential jazz and rock musicians of the era. And no one else is better qualified to spearhead and perpetuate the music of Tony Williams than Cindy Blackman. Befriended by Williams as a young drummer on the New York scene, Cindy Blackman was prepared to absorb his torrential energy after being mentored by master drummer Art Blakey & Alan Dawson. Blackman’s style of playing influenced by Williams and Blakey, combines an aggressive attack and faultless technique. With fire and finesse, she provided an opportunity to hear one of the true disciples of Tony Williams, perhaps the greatest drummer of his lifetime, or any other. Helping Cindy on this album is an all-star line-up featuring Mike Stern (guitar), Doug Carne (organ), Vernon Reid (guitar), Patrice Rushen (keyboards), Benny Reitveld (bass), Joe Lovano (tenor sax), and others.
