Drummer Robby Ameen leads a muscular team of Bob Franceschini/ts-ss, Conrad Herwig/tb, Troy Roberts/ts, Edsel Gomez/Rhodes and Lincoln Goines/b through a hard hitting gig at NYC’s Posters. The gents, all vets of post bop and fusion flex their collective muscles like life guards at Muscle Beach. Ameen supplies the backbeat for a hard h itting “Oleo” and snaps the sticks like a w hip for some Trane-ish solos for the deep rivulet of “Fast Eye” . The funk factor is felt on the Tower of Power’d “Lucia’s Wawa” the there’s a voluminous hard bop unison line that boggles the mind on “Swiftboarding”. Formula One jazz!
