Works on Canvas


Works on Canvas is an album led by drummer Cindy Blackman which was recorded in 1999 and released on the HighNote label.

Reception

Michael G. Nastos of AllMusic stated, "Blackman, more than a timekeeper but less a melodist, thankfully continues to grow and not sell out to more overtly commercial considerations. Her desire to be a jazz player is clear, and she's making strong inroads to being a formidable bandleader as well". In JazzTimes, John Murph called it "an amazing portrait of one of this generation’s most colorful drummers".
