Ghost Notes

2013 release, the first all instrumental CD by The Eric Gales Trio. On Ghost Notes, Glues guitar virtuoso Gales takes a wider angle view of his musical influences, running the gamut between Blues, Rock and Fusion with enough mind blowing musical moments to satisfy the most demanding Gales fan. In forming his instrumental trio, Gales chose two young virtuoso players in bassist Orlando Thompson and drummer Nick Hayes who met Gales where he lives and helped take him to a whole new place. As both an African American left handed guitarist of extraordinary ability and an expressive vocalist, it is natural for people to compare Eric to Jimi Hendrix but Eric has developed a unique hybrid Blues/Rock sound that also draws upon influences as diverse as Albert King and Eric Johnson.
