Acclaimed & Prolific Jazz Guitarist & Composer PASQUALE GRASSO has developed an astounding technique & concept, informed not by jazz guitarists so much as by bebop pioneers like Bud Powell, Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie and the classical-guitar tradition. Grasso has undoubtedly changed the way the world views jazz guitar. "The best guitar player I've heard in maybe my entire life is floating around now, Pasquale Grasso...This guy is doing something so amazingly musical and so difficult," says NEA Jazz Master & 20x-GRAMMY® Winning Jazz Guitar Icon PAT METHENY. In 2012, Grasso moved to New York City and quickly made a name for himself in the city's vibrant jazz scene. In 2015, Grasso won the Wes Montgomery International Jazz Guitar Competition. In 2018, at D.C.'s Kennedy Center, as part of the NEA Jazz Masters Tribute Concert, Grasso participated in a special performance to honor Pat Metheny. "One of the most gifted and musical jazz guitarists of today," raves GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE.

"[Pasquale Grasso] has raised guitar technique to a new and terrifyingly high level," states THE GUARDIAN. "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," says DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE.
