Acclaimed & Prolific Jazz Guitarist PASQUALE GRASSO has developed an astounding technique and concept informed not by jazz guitarists so much as by bebop pioneers like Bud Powell, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie and the classical-guitar tradition. Grasso has undoubtedly changed the way the world views jazz guitar. n his interview for Vintage Guitar Magazine's cover story, PAT METHENY was asked to name some younger musicians who'd impressed him. 'The best guitar player I've heard in maybe my entire life is floating around now, Pasquale Grasso,' said the jazz-guitar icon, NEA Jazz Master & 20x-GRAMMY® Award-Winner. The Guardian states, "...this 33-year-old Italian virtuoso, now resident in New York, has raised guitar technique to a new and terrifyingly high level." Downbeat Magazine raves, "When he's not dazzling listeners with technical feats and creative spark, Grasso enraptures them with oceans of smooth harmonic motion and all-enveloping sonic auras."
