'Robbie Ameen Spends 'Days In The Night' on New Two and Four Records Release [REVIEW]

Drummer Robby Ameen breaks new ground on 'Days In The Night' (Two and Four Records), a roller coaster ride of wildly percolating beats, choppy rhythmic thrusts and plenty of popping percussion. In reinventing Afro-Cuban, funk and post-bop, he's kept everything charged up like a crazed rhino on steroids. Keep out of the way and you'll be fine.

  • 'REVIEW: Dr. Ed Calle, 'Presenting Mamblue' (Mojito Records)

    Welcome to Miami! This release, 'Dr. Ed Calle Presents Mamblue,' a stunning two-CD tribute to the city of Miami, Florida and its cultural history (Mojito Records) is a tour-de-force of big-band swing, Afro-Cuban action, mambo, bolero and cha-cha. Dr. Ed Calle played sax, wrote all 25 tracks, arranged, orchestrated and produced. To that end, he rounded up some master musicians to positively wail.
