Frank Gambale

Made in Australia

This album is AMAZING!!! Recorded live a few years back in Melbourne, Australia with Virgil Donati on drums, and Ric Fierabracci on bass. Gambale is quite literally "on fire" on this CD. All members contributed songs and is without a doubt Gambale's most ferocious electric guitar playing in years. Check it out.

Natural High

The highly anticipated all-acoustic album from Mr. G. This album features reworked standards with Mr. G's own melodies and other new compositions. The album is a burning acoustic album and features Otmaro Ruiz on piano and Alain Caron on acoustic guitar bass and Mike Shapiro percussion on some tracks. There are no drums on the album but you don't even notice leaving the sound spectrum clear for the acoustic instruments to shine and blend. This is an absolute gem of an album.

Raison D'Etre

FG's amazing new album featuring the legendary BILLY COBHAM on drums, Ric Fierabracci and Steve Billman on bass. This album is the debut of Frank's new innovative guitar tuning called Gambale Tuning. You will hear chords that you have never heard coming from guitar. His new compositions inspired by the new tuning plus Cobham on drums adds up to Mr. G's best album so far.

Gambale & Colonna - Imagery Suite

Thinking Out Loud

Gambale's last JVC release. This album features him playing mostly a hollow body jazz guitar. Hearing Gambale playing clean with every note clear as a bell is a real treat. George Benson heard this album and went to see him perform during his tour in Sydney. George raved about the show and pronounced Gambale as the Master of Sweeping. Classic tunes such as Magritte, No-Neck Louie and The Avengers Suite, some of his best writing ever, plus distorted electric guitar on the tune My Little Viper much to our delight. Features Dave Weckl, Alphonso Johnson, Brian Auger and others.

Passages

Passages is regarded as Gambale's best overall album. Strong songs and strong performances by the whole all-star lineup. Otmaro Ruiz, the sensational keyboardist from Caracas, Venezuela is a perfect match for Gambale. The rhythm section is the firepower of Alphonso Johnson ( bass ), and Walfredo Reyes Jr. ( drums ). A classic album with classic songs like Passages, Little Charmer and 6.8 Shaker.

The Great Explorers

Gambale recruited Joe Satriani's band for this must have rock/fusion classic. None other than Stu Hamm and Jonathan Mover. B-3 Hammond organ played ex-Santana man Tom Coster. The result, absolute fireworks. Outstanding performances throughout as Gambale sweeps clean!

Live !

Gambale's first live album and third solo album now re-released on Wombat Records. Some say this is Gambale's best recording. It is ferocious from start to finish. Gambale recorded this album immediately after a long tour with Chick Corea and the Elektric Band and his chops were flying. Definitely need to strap in with a seat belt while listening to this one. It features Kei Akagi ( kbd ), Steve Tavaglione ( sax, EWI ), Joe Heredia ( dr ), Steve Kershisnik ( bass ).

A present for the future

Gambale's second solo album now re-released on Wombat Records. Gambale's sweep picking technique is in top form on this recording and was the album that Jerry Garcia heard in his car while driving along one day and he said "I nearly drove off the road".

Brave New Guitar

Gambale's sweep picking technique is very evident even on this early recording. A must for any serious Gambale collector.

Live at Visualite

Recording Quality ? EXCELLENT.
FG Trio Live at the Visualite Theater, Charlotte, North Carolina April 13, 2004.
Featuring: Mr. G on guitar and double-neck with Gambale Nouveau Tuning Ricardo Fierabracci on bass Joel Taylor on drums. This is a shorter set of one hour because on this occasion the group was opening but what a monster set. The band by this time had been playing the music for a few months and the refinements and eloquence of this performance is striking. Awesome show, everyone is rippin?.

Live in Vienna

Recording Quality ? FAIR.
FG Trio Live in Vienna, Austria Feb. 2nd, 2004.
Featuring: Mr. G on guitar and double-neck with Gambale Nouveau Tuning Ricardo Fierabracci on bass Joel Taylor on drums. This was one of the early shows in the tour. The band plays very well but the mix is drum heavy. The guitar is clear enough though to be appreciated. Good from chronological point of view because the bands evolution to later performances is more evident with this one to compare. Good solid FG performance, especially Little Charmer.
