Big Band Conga-Sweet!

Not sure who the conga player is but this band is just killer. Tommy Igoe is the son of Sonny Igoe who passed away this year. Sonny was a well known player and teacher in NYC for many, many years. Clearly his son picked up a lot along the way. His big band drive reminds me a bit of Buddy Rich, although the sound and the charts are very contemporary. I understand the band is currently in San Francisco for a while before retuning to NYC. So...anyone know who the conga player might be?
