***Someday...*** is an album by drummer [Cindy Blackman](/source/Cindy_Blackman_Santana). It was recorded at Sound on Sound Recording in New York City on April 27, 2000, and was released in 2001 by [HighNote Records](/source/HighNote_Records). On the album, Blackman is joined by saxophonist [J. D. Allen](/source/J._D._Allen), keyboardist Carlton Holmes, and bassist George Mitchell.[1][2][3]

## Reception

In a review for [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic), Scott Yanow wrote: "These are post-bop explorations, often rather dark in mood and giving all four musicians opportunities to set the direction and to interact with each other. The result is an album of high-quality modern jazz."[1]

A reviewer for *[All About Jazz](/source/All_About_Jazz)* stated: "*Someday*... puts Blackman into another light as a band leader who may now be really hitting her stride. This is after all, undoubtedly her most prescient and cohesive recording to date. It is a strong conceptual record with a very consistent aesthetic at play and moreover, one which does not fail to create some memorable moods... there is not a lot of hesitation here in giving this record an unqualified endorsement."[4]

Bill Shoemaker, writing for *[Jazz Times](/source/Jazz_Times)*, commented: "You know when players are stepping up as leaders when they use the tradition as a means, not the end-all. Cindy Blackman does just that on *Someday...*, a program that liberally taps the Miles Davis book, but with a couple of pungent twists."[5]
