Frank Gambale and Alain Caron v band... everything about the bands sound processing is virtual, no amps or effects except Roland Virtual system... even the drummer. I would like to thank Frank Gambale for permission to film this session. One slight problem, and this was noted bt all the band members, the bass / drum was a bit boomy... which unfortuneatly makes it onto the video.

  1. These guys are mathematicians not musicians. Total lack of soul. Their approach is overly technical. Gambale's protege Alex Hutchings could show them a bit about soulful expression.....Check out his "Beyond the Quay" on youtube.

  2. I think you miss the point. I was there in the Musikmesse again this year, 2010, and I saw Alex Hutchings who went out for a meal with Frank Gambale. He let me know the location of Frank's show and to the contrary of your comments feels Frank still has plenty to offer... in fact he was sweeping away like crazy after the show.

    I agree with you that Alex Hutching's is a phenomenon and I too love his expressive playing.

  3. Frank is one of the greatest guitar players on this planet.His awesome dexterity and depth of music theory is incredible.

    Maybe... Alex was just trying to prove a point.His ego may have got the better of him.He is not quite as deep as Frank, not yet anyway.

    All I expressed is my personal opinion of sweet soulful playing as opposed to high/tech shredding.
    Cheers!
