Jazz fusion is my favorite
genre. However, with this album Frank
Gambale deals subpar work. This is
clearly not what attracts me to the jazz fusion genre. Some folks may like it, and it is not as if I
would have a problem with that. I’ll be
honest, Frank Gambale is an amazing guitarist, but the song writing on this is
terrible. However, I don’t see Thunder
from Down Under blazing any trails for the jazz fusion genre. Gambale would do better to pair himself with
a song writer.
So what is with the stars
anyway? That is, why not 1 star instead
of 3. That is because these musicians
are actually playing sophisticated music from their hearts. As I have said before, an album need only be
in the genre of what I would call jazz fusion to get 3 stars from me, and that
is simply because I love it so much.
Maybe I would change that if there was more jazz fusion out there, and
possibly give 1 or 2 star ratings, but it is not as if I look forward to such a
world.
