O’s Notes: Robby Ameen is a polished drummer, composer, arranger, producer and bandleader with a storied career that spans more than 40 years and includes associations with Dizzy, Reuben Blades, Eddie Palmieri and Dave Valentin. He brings his Afro-Cuban style and a formidable team including Troy Roberts (t-sax, s-sax), Conrad Herwig (tb), Edsel Gomez (p), Bob Franceschini (sax), Lincoln Goines (b) and Bill O’Connell (p) for Diluvio. The beats are heavily syncopated in a groove that’ll keep your pulse going! They get a little saxy on “Mixology” with strong piano work from O’Connell and a fine solo from Goines. Ameen is peaking at 59!
