Sounds Like: "...one the new breed of young guitarists who has the knowledge and skill to play in various techniques of jazz, rock, and other modes." Mark Turner, All About Jazz"...plays crisply and leaves the harmonic spectrum wide open, comping only on the more tonal pieces, where its necessary. Listeners will also remember Gamble for his creative arsenal of sounds: the accelerating loop effects and the post-Hendrix sound-washes in particular."
David Adler
All About Jazz - New York"Mr. Gamble altered his style of playing every few bars: finger-tapping, heavy chords, quiet rhythm-and-blues licks, deep-reverb amplifier sounds." Ben Ratliff, New York Times
