Frank Gambale
When something emerges from the soul of an artist, it’s honest, personal and meaningful. It is more than a passion project.
For Grammy winning guitar innovator Frank Gambale, 'Soulmine' is a soul-realized endeavor that has ruminated in his consciousness for 30 years. The musician jazz giant Chick Corea called 'one of the most incredible guitarists on the planet' found the missing piece when he met and married his soulmate, Boca.
She provides the sultry vocals and together the pair wrote and produced the ten-song collection of jazzy adult pop tunes that was released today on his Wombat Records label.
'Soulmine' is garnering critical acclaim for the masterfully performed, well-crafted songs served in a fresh blend of contemporary jazz, sophisticated pop, soulful R&B and progressive rock.
The album boasts a gifted supporting cast that includes 5-time Grammy winning bassist Victor Wooten and organist Brian Auger.
In addition to promoting 'Soulmine,' Gambale will be quite busy this summer. On June 19th, he along with his Return To Foreverband mates - Corea, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White and Jean-Luc Ponty - will release a new triple disc album entitled 'The Mothership Returns,' a live recording and DVD from Eagle Rock Entertainment.
This fall, Gambale will unveil a new interactive website devoted to Sweep Picking and other informative tutorials and webinars for guitarists seeking to study with the imaginative guitar master.
A respected author, educator and clinician, Gambale is also putting the finishing touches on another instructional book that will premiere on his forthcoming website.
