The Story
"The Great Explorers" finds Gambale returning to all-instrumental, high-energy rock and fusion guitar with stellar musicians Tom Coster, Stuart Hamm, Jonathan Mover and Freddie Ravel. The result of this collaboration with Joe Satriani's touring band? Absolute fireworks! Outstanding performances throughout as Gambale sweeps clean! Another production note, "The Great Explorers" includes two collaborations with guitarist Gary Hoey, "Jaguar" and "She Knows Me Well".
