WHERE
WE COME FROM
1998
release. A transition recording for Vital Information, the band
re-invented itself with a rootsy amalgam which ran the stylistic gamut
from James
Brown funk to Meters/Booker T & The MGs soul to searing Tony Williams
Lifetime-inspired fusion while making further allusions to jazz icons
like Buddy Rich, Jimmy Smith, Wes Montgomery and Ornette Coleman along
the way. Where We Come From won the Indie Award in 1998 for
"Jazz Recording of the Year." The eighth release from Vital Information with Frank Gambale
on guitar, Tom Coster on Hammond B-3, Jeff Andrews on bass, and Steve
Smith on drums! Along with the groups original tunes, they cover Led
Zeppelin's 'Moby Dick', Ornette Coleman's 'Happy House' and a
previously unrecorded Jaco Pastorius composition 'Blow Fish Blues.'

RAY OF
HOPE
1996
release. Frank Gambale, guitar; Jeff Andrews, bass; Tom Coster, keys;
Steve Smith, drums. The recording just before Vital Information made a
transition into being more of a “Soul-Jazz” oriented group. Strong
group compositions including Over and Out, Ray Of Hope and Clouds.
Jeff Andrews shines on the Horace Silver tune Peace and his own
composition Fit To Be Tied. In
general, this recording is Vital Info’s “smoothest” sound.
