About the album

Grammy-winning New York drummer Robby Ameen has had an established recording and touring career stretching from Dizzy Gillespie to Paul Simon over the last four decades, highlighted by a 20-year run with the band of Latin icon Ruben Blades. Although he's of Lebanese origin, Ameen is best known for the unique and powerful Afro-Cuban jazz style he developed and displayed on hundreds of recordings, including many with Dave Valentin, Eddie Palmieri, Kip Hanrahan, and Conrad Herwig’s Latin Side All-Stars. Diluvio marks Ameen's 3rd release as a composer, arranger & band leader, teaming with Troy Roberts, Bob Franceschini, Conrad Herwig, Edsel Gomez, Lincoln Goines, Bill O’Connell & Mauricio Herrera, most with whom he goes back several decades. Musically, it's his vision of the sounds he's dedicated a lifetime to exploring: Afro-Cuban music with deep strains of contemporary hard bop and funk, thoroughly infused with an indomitable spirit.
Der mit einem Grammy ausgezeichnete New Yorker Schlagzeuger Robby Ameen kann auf eine etablierte Aufnahme- und Tourneekarriere zurückblicken, die in den letzten vier Jahrzehnten von Dizzy Gillespie bis Paul Simon reichte und durch eine 20-jährige Zusammenarbeit mit der Band der Latin-Ikone Ruben Blades gekennzeichnet ist. Obwohl er libanesischer Herkunft ist, ist Ameen vor allem für seinen einzigartigen und kraftvollen afrokubanischen Jazzstil bekannt, den er entwickelt und auf Hunderten von Aufnahmen gezeigt hat, darunter viele mit Dave Valentin, Eddie Palmieri, Kip Hanrahan und Conrad Herwigs Latin Side All-Stars. Mit Diluvio erscheint Ameen zum dritten Mal als Komponist, Arrangeur und Bandleader in Zusammenarbeit mit Troy Roberts, Bob Franceschini, Conrad Herwig, Edsel Gomez, Lincoln Goines, Bill O'Connell & Mauricio Herrera, mit denen er größtenteils schon mehrere Jahrzehnte zusammenarbeitet. Musikalisch gesehen ist es seine Vision von den Klängen, denen er sein ganzes Leben gewidmet hat: Afrokubanische Musik mit tiefen Klängen des zeitgenössischen Hard Bop und Funk, durch und durch von einem unbezähmbaren Geist durchdrungen.
