Frank Gambale
Passages
The Story
"Passages" is regarded by many fans and critics as Frank Gambale's best overall album. Strong songs and strong performances are turned in by the entire all-star lineup, which includes Otmaro Ruiz, the sensational keyboardist from Caracas, Venezuela, who is a perfect match for Gambale. The rhythm section is the firepower of Alphonso Johnson (bass), and Walfredo Reyes Jr. (drum ). "Passages" is a classic album with classic songs like the title track, "Little Charmer", "6.8 Shaker", and Gambale's instrumental cover of the Cream song "White Room". A great first album for the instrumental fan new to the music of Gambale.
