Described by jazz guitar icon Pat Metheny as “the best guitar player I’ve heard in maybe my entire life,” Italian-born virtuoso Pasquale Grasso brings his signature blend of rapturous swing and jaw-dropping technique to the Joe Henderson Lab.

A prodigious musician blessed with perfect pitch, Grasso began on guitar at five and was performing in public by nine. He was inspired by the limitless abilities of pianists Bud Powell and Art Tatum and sought to emulate the sound and dexterity they brought to the music, along with their ability to play chords and melody simultaneously — a distinction that sets him apart from his contemporaries.
