Steve Smith’s Vital Information,Frank Gambale/France 1991

Journey, Steps Ahead, Mike Stern, Mariah Carey… Led by all-round super drummer Steve Smith, former Santana keyboardist Tom Coster, and Chick Corea Electric Band’s world’s fastest guitarist. A tremendous live performance from the heyday of Vital Information, a super technical jazz fusion band made up of talented members such as Frank Gambale, Mike Stern Trio, and Michael Brecker Band, famous bassist Jeff Andrews, is here! ! ! Since its formation, Vital Information has gone through several member changes and has continued to perform regularly, but the band “World’s No. It is no exaggeration to say that this lineup is the strongest lineup in the history of Vital, including Frank Gambale, who is said to be a fast-player, and Jeff Andrews, who was active in bands with Mike Stern and Michael Brecker, and is said to be a technician comparable to Jeff Berlin. On September 3, 1991, the spectacular live performance at New Morning in Paris, France was completely recorded for over 2 hours in the highest quality stereo sound with the label’s own careful mastering. The 2-disc set, a must-listen edition, has arrived with fans going crazy! ! ! Smith had no interest in rock as a child and only listened to big band jazz, but when he met Led Zeppelin (John Bonham), he started listening to rock as well. Even in this live performance, they performed a rock-oriented number with a jazz vibe infused with a bold arrangement, which turned out quite cool. Santana’s “Europe” featuring Coster is also a must-listen. And the transcendental technical numbers that make up the majority of the set list are truly amazing. Smith’s hyper-drums, which is said to be a man who has mastered all kinds of drum techniques, and who can perform extremely difficult things with stick control built on the basis of considerable basic training, and his flawless running are amazing. Backed by a rhythm section with an excellent combination by Andrews, who can easily insert his side, Koster’s keyboard group, which uses super technique, and who has shown his true strength in technical fields such as co-starring with Billy Cobham after leaving Santana, and himself. He has an extraordinary technique that allows him to play at astonishingly fast speeds using a playing technique called speed picking, which he devised in 2007.His incredible gambare, in which he plays phrases that make you feel like you’re fast forwarding and you can’t understand what’s going on anymore, is amazing. His playing style has had a great influence on metal artists such as Yngwie Malmsteen, but the unparalleled precision of Gambare’s technique is unrivaled. These four fearsome members pursue the hardcore path they have consistently followed since Vital Information was formed in 1983. Vital Information, a rare band that is heavy and powerful with a variety of odd time signatures and thoroughly pursues technique, without being swayed by the smooth style that is popular in the streets, will blow away your drowsiness with this live performance that captures the peak of Vital Information! ! !
