Pasquale Grasso Trio 3/29/2026 3:00 PM - 3/29/2026

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 16:13:19 GMT

The Italian-born jazz guitar virtuoso brings his astounding technique to Brannan Center.

Born in Italy and now based in New York City, the 30-year-old guitarist has developed an astounding technique and concept informed not by jazz guitarists so much as by bebop pioneers like Powell, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie and the classical-guitar tradition.

Many serious guitar heads have been hip to Grasso for a while now and are aware of his jaw-dropping online performance videos, his beautiful custom instrument -- built in France by Trenier Guitars -- and his early career triumphs. In 2015, he won the Wes Montgomery International Jazz Guitar Competition in New York City, taking home a $5,000 prize and performing with guitar legend Pat Martino’s organ trio.

Last year 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, alongside his guitar-wunderkind peers Dan Wilson, Camila Meza, Gilad Hekselman and Nir Felder.

These days, Grasso teaches and maintains a packed gig schedule around New York, including frequent solo performances at the popular Greenwich Village haunt Mezzrow, where a regular Monday-night gig allowed him to develop his solo-arranging skillset. Not that Grasso thinks his work is done. “All [of the musicians I love are] inspiration for me to get new ideas and form my style, because it’s still growing,”

Pasquale says. “And it’s gonna be growing until the day I die.”

Pasquale Grasso Trio at Brannan Center 3/29/2026 3:00 PM - 3/29/2026

Member Tickets: $33.75 - $53.10

It was the kind of endorsement most rising guitarists can only dream of, and then some. In his interview for Vintage Guitar magazine’s February 2016 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 and NEA Jazz Master. “This guy is doing something so amazingly musical and so difficult.

“Mostly what I hear now are guitar players who sound a little bit like me mixed with a little bit of [John Scofield] and a little bit of [Bill Frisell],” he continued. “What’s interesting about Pasquale is that he doesn’t sound anything like that at all. In a way, it is a little bit of a throwback, because his model—which is an incredible model to have—is Bud Powell. He has somehow captured the essence of that language from piano onto guitar in a way that almost nobody has ever addressed. He’s the most significant new guy I’ve heard in many, many years.”

Pasquale says. “And it’s gonna be growing until the day I die.”

Fue el tipo de respaldo que la mayoría de los guitarristas en ascenso solo pueden soñar… y aún más. En su entrevista para la portada de la revista Vintage Guitar de febrero de 2016, Pat Metheny fue preguntado por algunos músicos jóvenes que lo habían impresionado.“El mejor guitarrista que he escuchado en quizá toda mi vida está por ahí ahora, Pasquale Grasso,” dijo el ícono de la guitarra jazz y Maestro del Jazz del NEA. “Este tipo está haciendo algo tan increíblemente musical y tan difícil.

“La mayoría de lo que escucho ahora son guitarristas que suenan un poco como yo mezclado con un poco de [John Scofield] y un poco de [Bill Frisell],” continuó. “Lo interesante de Pasquale es que no suena nada como eso. En cierto modo, es un poco un regreso al pasado, porque su modelo —que es un modelo increíble— es Bud Powell. De alguna manera ha capturado la esencia de ese lenguaje del piano en la guitarra. Es el tipo nuevo más significativo que he escuchado en muchos años.”

Nacido en Italia y ahora radicado en Nueva York, el guitarrista de 30 años ha desarrollado una técnica y un concepto asombrosos, informados más por pioneros del bebop como Powell, Charlie Parker y Dizzy Gillespie que por guitarristas de jazz.

Muchos ya conocen a Grasso por sus videos en línea, su hermoso instrumento personalizado —construido por Trenier Guitars en Francia— y sus primeros triunfos. En 2015, ganó la Competencia Internacional de Guitarra de Jazz Wes Montgomery en Nueva York, llevándose un premio de $5,000 y tocando con el trío de órgano de Pat Martino.

El año pasado, en el Kennedy Center de D.C., participó en un concierto tributo a Metheny junto a Dan Wilson, Camila Meza, Gilad Hekselman y Nir Felder.

Hoy en día, Grasso enseña y mantiene una agenda activa en Nueva York, incluyendo actuaciones en solitario en el club Mezzrow, donde su residencia de los lunes por la noche le ayudó a desarrollar sus habilidades de arreglos. No es que piense que su trabajo está terminado. “Todos [los músicos que amo] son una inspiración para obtener nuevas ideas y formar mi estilo, porque todavía está creciendo,”

Pasquale dice. “Y va a seguir creciendo hasta el día en que me muera.”
