For a certain weight function \(w\) on \(R^d\) and for \(1\leq p,q \leq \infty\), the \textit{weighted amalgam space} \(W(L^p, L^q_w)\) is the space of functions \(f\) satisfying: \[ \sum_{k \in Z^d} \| f\cdot T_{\alpha k} \chi_{[0,\alpha)^d}\| _p^q w(\alpha k) < \infty, \] (with the obvious modification for \(q = \infty\)) where \(T\) denotes the translation operator. The paper under review shows that Gabor frames for \(L^2(R^d)\), i.e., frames of the form \[ \{ e^{2\pi i n \beta \cdot x}g(x-k\alpha) n,k \in Z^d\} \] characterize the amalgam spaces \(W(L^p, L_w^q)\) through some appropriately chosen norm of the sequence of Gabor expansion coefficients. Converse results, providing necessary conditions for generating functions \(g\), are also studied.
