Frank Gambale
Raison D'etre
The Story
Frank Gambale's amazing new album for 2004, "Raison D'etre", self-released on the Wombat Records imprint, features the legendary Billy Cobham on drums, along with Ric Fierabracci and Steve Billman on bass. This album is the debut of Frank's new patent-applied-for tuning called Gambale Guitar Nouveau Tuning. You will hear chords that you have never heard coming from guitar. His new compositions were inspired by the new tuning - along with the fact that you have Billy Cobham on drums - adds up to Mr. G's best album so far. Fusion fans are hailing the new Gambale release as an instant classic - if there is such a thing, this may be it.
