About the Album
In the spirit of New York's loft scene of the '70s, master drummer Robby Ameen searched out performance alternatives when faced with the Covid shutdown. Tribeca's decades-old Philip Williams Poster shop offered space for Ameen to video teach, rehearse, and eventually present a weekly series in its expansive storefront, replete with the world's largest collection of vintage posters to warm the sounds. With his longtime band of Bob Franceschini, Conrad Herwig, Troy Roberts, Edsel Gomez, and Lincoln Goines in tow, Ameen created an intimate neighborhood salon, overflowing with fiery original Afro-Cuban music with deep strains of contemporary hard bop and funk. ‘Live at the Poster Museum’ was recorded and filmed during the last of the series' concerts, the musicians, volunteers, and audience all deeply owning the significant collective experience they created.
