Part 7/11:
Gambale shares his approach to harmonizing and reimagining blues and jazz structures. He explains how he introduces modern harmonies into blues—adding chords and substituting scales—to craft more complex, harmonically rich progressions. His focus on understanding the nuts and bolts of music allows him to make improvisations that are both challenging and beautiful. The unpredictability in his playing is a hallmark, keeping listeners engaged and always on the edge of their seat.
