Trombeatz concept is at once soulful and sophisticated. I love the way they utilize the trombone in their ensemble. Their new recording, ‘A Caribbean Thing’, reflects a deep understanding of the Latin Jazz tradition, while taking the music somewhere fresh. I’m a Trombeatz fan for sure!

Nelson Bello is the band's primary percussionist and conga player. Ramos and Bello met while working together in different Latin" bands during Ramos' studies at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. At that time, neither man knew that a common thread between them was their shared connection to both pianist Zaccai Curtis and bassist Luques Curtis, better known to many as The Curtis Brothers, and core creators of what is now Truth Revolution Recording Collective. According to Hommy, Nelson is a friend and my right hand man, who is in charge of representing 'Trombeatz', in addition to his excellent work as a percussionist."Joel Mateo
