Frank Gambale All-Star Group - Live from Bansko Jazz Festival August 5th 2023

 

Awesome live performance of Gambale and his new All-Star group of "Have You Met Tom Jones?" from his Natural High album.

Frank played on borrowed guitars because his guitar never made it thanks to Lufthansa "Special Handling". As yet his guitars are still not returned. This explains why he is playing a guitar that is not his own. Didn't appear to slow him down much!
