Pasquale Grasso - "Midway" LIVE @ Zinc Bar 4.29.24
Музыка
Pasquale Grasso performs "Midway" by Bud Powell at Zinc Bar #zincbar in Greenwch Village for the Guitar Masters Festival on Monday April 29, 2024.
Meet the modern evolution of jazz guitar - PASQUALE GRASSO! I call him Joe Pass 2.0, but he is so much more. He combines the best traits of Joe Pass, Tal Farlow, and Bud Powell all wrapped in one!
Grasso may be the best bebop style player alive today. In 2016 Pat Metheny told Vintage Guitar magazine that Grasso was “the best guitar player I’ve heard in maybe my entire life.”
He has developed a prodigious technique that he has applied to chord melody playing for classic jazz standards. He uses alternate picking, sweep picking, and hybrid picking so emotionally and cleanly with sheets of cascading rapid-fire notes intertwined with beautiful slow voice leadings, and sustained chordal structures.
Pasquale Grasso is an Italian-born guitarist and grew up in the Campania region of Italy, but moved to New York City in 2012.
This is the 52nd installment of my "Great Performances" series, where I upload my own personal LIVE footage from past concerts of great musical artists I've covered either through written articles and/or direct interviews.
The Pasquale Grasso Trio is:
Pasquale Grasso - Guitar
Ari-Roland - Upright Bass
Keith Balla - Drums
