=====================================================================[spoyler=Vital Information]Фрэнк Гэмбэл родился и вырос в австралийском городе Канберра. Когда мальчику минуло семь лет, он в первый раз взял в руки гитару. В 1982 году в возрасте 23 лет Фрэнк поступает в Гитарный Технологический Институт (Guitar Institute of Technology, GIT) в Голливуде. Он оканчивает институт с высшей степенью и последующие четыре года работает в нем преподавателем. В это время он выступает в местных джазовых клубах с собственной группой и публикуeт свою первую книгу "Speed Picking".
  В 1986 году он подписывает контракт на выпуск трех альбомов с небольшой звукозаписывающей компанией "Legato". В этом же году Жан-Люк Понти приглашает Фрэнка принять участие в гастрольном туре. После тура Гамбале проходит прослушивание у Чика Кориа. Так начинается период их совместного творчества, продлившийся шесть лет и увенчавшийся награждением Грэмми и записью пяти альбомов. Позднее Фрэнку было сделано предложение от "Ibanez" по изготовлению гитары. Была выпущена модель гитары "Frank Gambale. В 1987 году Фрэнк подписал контракт на производство трех видеошкол с фирмой DCI. В 1992 году Фрэнк продолжил карьеру исполнителя и с тех пор выступает со своей собственной группой "Vital Information".
  В группу входят ударник Стив Смит [Steve Smith], клавишник Том Костер [Tom Coster] и басист Бэрон  Броуни [Baron Browne]. В 1996 Фрэнку предложили место главы гитарного отделения в Лос-Анжелесской музыкальной академии.
  Фрэнк Гэмбэл - один из самых известных инноваторов от гитары. Одно из множества его достижений - революционная разработка техники скользящего звукоизвлечения "sweep picking", открыла новые горизонты для партий лидер-гитары, исполнять которые ранее не представлялось возможным.

  Steve Smith (born on August 21, 1954 in Whitman, Massachusetts) is an American drummer who has worked with hundreds of artists in his career. Modern Drummer Magazine readers voted him the #1 All-Around Drummer five years in a row.

  Baron Browne, born and raised in Georgia, USA, gravitated to music at a very early age, learning to play his uncle's drumset at 7 years old. As a teenager he dabbled in piano lessons and at age 12 played guitar for a year before realizing that bass guitar was to be his instrument.
  At age 18, Baron was launched into the professional music scene right out of high school, moving to Boston and studying at the Berklee School of Music. After studying at the prestigious school for a year, he began working full time in Boston with artists such as Kevin Eubanks, Tiger Okoshi, Mike Stern, Bill Frisell and Dean Brown...
... In 1999 Baron went on an extensive tour of Europe, the U.S., Australia and New Zealand with Steve Smith and Vital Information to help promote their CD entitled "Where We Come From." A double live CD called "Live Around The World" documenting the band on that tour was released Sept. 2000.
  In the year 2002 Baron continued to tour with Vital Information to promote the CD "Show ‘Em Where You Live." He was also included in the writing and producing of this album. While working with Vital Info, Steve Smith also uses Baron for his Buddy Rich tribute band Buddy's Buddies with Mark Soskin and Buddy Rich alumni Steve Marcus and Andy Fusco. They have released two live recordings showcasing that lineup, "Very Live at Ronnie Scotts' Set 1 and Set 2."
  As of 2004, Baron continues to write and perform with Vital Information as a full-fledged member. Their latest release "Come On In" received rave reviews from jazz critics around the world. Baron has also toured and performed with Randy Brecker, Al DiMeola, Larry Coryell, Jean-Luc Ponty, Billy Cobham, Angela Bofill, Stanley Clarke, Tom Browne, Kevin Eubanks, Lonnie Listen Smith, Noel Pointer, Freddie Hubbard, Tiger Okoshi, Dave Valentine, Stanley Turrentine, Gary Burton, Mike Manieri and Steps Ahead, Exposé, Tom Jones, Brian McKnight, Walter Beasley, Ayden Esen and Tommy Campbell.

[/spoyler]=====================================================================
[spoyler=Come On In]  The benefit of a long-standing musical relationship is impossible to quantify, but needless to say there is a certain comfort level, a certain simpatico that results from playing together for the long term. Drummer Steve Smith's current incarnation of Vital Information, featuring guitarist Frank Gambale, keyboardist Tom Coster and bassist Baron Browne, has been together for over six years now, and a certain bravado and nervous energy more evident in their early live release, Live Around the World , was replaced by a deeper maturity on their last recording, '02's Show 'Em Where You Live . Now with their latest release, Come On In , the story continues, with an album that is arguably their most relaxed effort yet.
  That's not to say there isn't plenty of energy on Come On In , but the band is clearly moving towards the jazz side of the fusion equation. Gambale's "A Little Something” swings along with Smith contributing some fine brushwork. And with the exception of the set closer, the high-octane Coster/Gambale collaboration "High Wire,” Gambale's tone is clean and warm, resembling Pat Martino more than Allan Holdsworth, especially on tracks like the opening "Time Tunnel” and "Cat Walk,” which harkens a bit back to Martino's days with his Joyous Lake band.
  But while the band is leaning towards cleaner, crisper behaviour, there are plenty of chops to keep fusion fans happy. "Around the World,” which tosses in a bar of 6/4 after three bars of 4/4 in order to keep things just the slightest bit unbalanced, is a New Orleans-flavoured funk tune where Browne and Smith demonstrate their unfailing ability to establish and build groove. Coster, as always the consummate accompanist, delivers a greasy organ solo that leads into a trade-off with Gambale where, each time around, they up the ante, building the excitement in what must surely be a high point of their live performances.
  And while Smith's name is at the front of the Vital Information imprint, this is clearly a cooperative band where not only does everyone get the opportunity to contribute compositions, but more and more of the writing comes from collaborative efforts. In fact, only four of the eleven compositions are single composer pieces. From tunes that are unquestionably improvisations based around a simple premise, like "Beneath the Surface” and "Fine Line,” which find Smith on udu, Coster on accordion and Gambale on acoustic guitar, to more arranged collective tunes like "Baton Rouge,” which blends an African highlife acoustic guitar with Louisiana accordion theme, the group asserts a personality that, regardless of style, is clear and recognizable.
  Come On In demonstrates the maturity that develops from a group of seasoned players who have been playing long enough to no longer have anything to prove. As much as the formidable skills of each musician are clear, Vital Information is becoming less and less about pure chops and more and more about establishing.
