Give the drummer some

"Cindy Blackman Santana is known by pop fans for her long tenure as a drummer with Lenny Kravitz's touring group and her kit work in Santana. Since the 1980s, jazz fans have regarded her as a first-call session player, bandleader, composer, and recording artist ... Give the Drummer Some is a sprawling, genre-crossing, 17-track set that reveals Blackman Santana's gifts in the above categories, as well as her fine vocal and production skills. She composed all but one tune here and produced or co-produced nine tracks, with Narada Michael Walden helming the remainder. In addition to appearances by husband Carlos Santana, she enlisted guitarists John McLaughlin, Vernon Reid, and Metallica's Kirk Hammett in a star-studded cast ... Give the Drummer Some's only problem is its sometimes tricky sequencing - with a palette this wide, it's almost unavoidable. That said, the music provides a truly remarkable showcase for Blackman Santana's depth as a musical renaissance woman, whose signature is marked by infectious grooves and a truckload of soul".
