    He was born in a musical ambient, he started playing at a very early age, he had good teachers, he had parents who disciplined him to practice and motivated him, he had a healthy competitive relation with his brother, he had good ears and a great passion and love for this music. All the conditions were reunited for the creation of a virtuoso

      Exactly! Questions I would have asked. Did Pasquale learn to play piano? Did he receive formal training in classical guitar at a young age or later in his graduate studies? His playing is very pianistic which is synergistic with classical and jazz guitar. Pasquale is refreshingly Italian - honest, open, crediting his brother and family with his success. Bravo!

Last year I had the privilege to hear Pascali live at an intimate venue with the great vocalist phenom Samara Joy. I hope they tour again and come back. I will make a point to drop everything I’m doing. Before that I didn’t know anything about him.

    There are so many of detractors of his "old-styled" harmonic and melodic approach, but I really think he IS moving forward the way have been traditionally played, no one ever dared to perform such pianistic tunes in such an accomplished way, improvising so many harmonised melodies and playing such wide yet full chord voicings. Surely not revolutionized music but a specific stream of jazz guitar without any doubt!
    Let's keep in mind we're talking about archtop guitars and not talking about electric guitars, which I consider two separate instruments with a lot in common but different potentials each. When kids will realize this and get inspired, they could definitely make huge improvements to the guitar if spoused to more contemporary sound and repertoire.

    I always had a disconnect with bebop for years-trad jazz, brazilian, cool, etc I could really find and love stuff in them but bebop never spoke to me. I would listen to Bud and Bird per the usual recommendations and while I was able to appreciate their technical prowess and creativity, it didn't spark for me until FINALLY a horn player friend casually told me about Pasquale.

    For the record--and anyone who is listening--can we STOP comparing Pasquale Grasso to Joe Pass. Don't get me wrong, they both play beautifully--and Joe Pass did a lot to bring solo guitar into its own... along with George Van Eps--who is seldom mentioned. Pasquale plays like Bud Powell, like Barry Harris, like Charlie Parker, and like Dizzy. Listen to his inspiration--Elmo Hope and Bud Powell. He doesn't sound like Joe Pass--and that should be a revelation to the jazz guitar community. Pasquale Grasso plays bebop lines that few parallel on the guitar--he doesn't play single lines like Joe Pass either. True bebop--a new bar has been raised. Would have been great to hear him play with Jimmy Raney.

      So true, but he has the virtuosity of Pass. I saw Pass in the '70s and he mesmerized the room. I'd like to see Grasso. To me, the newer players don't have the same soul as the greats like Dexter Gordon and Powell. It's almost like jazz has become a new classical music and the new players are divas who never knew the hardships of the era when jazz was being created. I saw the Marsalis brothers in the '80s and they were weak sauce. They played with VSOP once and I thought they might pee their pants. That said, glad jazz is being played, it's the greatest achievement in American music.

    Mr. Bob Bakert: A wonderful interview with my favorite guitarist! Some great information and interesting background on Pasquale. I would like to recommend an amplifier to him, but maybe it would be better to contact him directly. How would I do that? Also, I appreciated the comments he made about how musicians dress. On my YT Channel, I usually dress casually. On the job (I mostly play solo-jazz guitar), I always wear a suit and tie. I just think that's how professional musicians should present themselves. Once again, thank you Bob and Pasquale for such a nice interview...a job well done!

    17:32 incredible! his mom actually learned notes by herself so she could teach them! he completely ignored that...i guess he mis-understood or something. its no easy feat to learn how to read, and even more to make your children play them

    What, William Ash not playing guitar anymore? That's kinda weird, his son is a great guitarist too. Pasquale you need to make it out here to Phoenix AZ, particularly at the Musical Instrument Museum, lots of great players have been through here and a great venue. Looking forward to that new album.

      William Ash stopped performing on guitar several years ago. He plays bass mostly in Latin jazz settings. Check him out on the Los Hacheros Tiny Desk concert on UA-cam. That said, he’s recently played a couple of low key gigs on guitar at Mezzrow, on trios led by Ari Roland. He still sounds great!

    Pasquale is obviously amazing, but I wouldn’t say he’s really moving anything forward. To me, he sounds like Bud Powell on guitar. Breathtakingly amazing, but not new.
