Rendez-vous
(Gadfly Records,

"With Rendez-vous I'm
trying to break the borders of the flatpicking
technique in a creative way, experimenting new
"full sounding" solutions to obtain a sort of
a "plectrum-fingerstyle" sound in an unusual
synthesis.
I have the pleasure to present to the
listeners artists that come from completely
different artistic worlds in a really
stimulating combination: from the singer
songwriting avant-garde of Patty Larkin
and Darrell Scott to the Italian wave
of the Sixties of Francesco Guccini,
from the newgrass mastery of Missy Raines
and Jim Hurst to the early-music tenor
voice of Marco Beasley; from the button
accordion of my son Filippo Gambetta to
the guitar of the Brasilian maestro Marco
Pereira, from the progressive European
style of French mandolinist Patrick
Vaillant to the ethno-urban percussions of
Marco Fadda and the jazzy bass of
Riccardo Barbera.
