Came here to post the clip as well. Gorgeous playing, and amazing to see an unaccompanied solo guitar chorus on national network TV

Brilliant player, I really like him in this setting, seems a lot less busy sounding, as the situation demands.

It's a bummer that here in Canada we can't purchase his Sony recordings. Does anyone know of a workaround? I have no problem with paying to purchase (downloads or cds) but it seems like a licensing issue.
-
That's bizarre for a major label. I've had no difficulties purchasing download files from iTunes or Amazon here in the UK. Sadly his Sony recordings are not available on CD and I'm not aware of any plans for a physical release.
Some audiophile music sites have hi-res digital files available (legit). You might try Artist "Pasquale Grasso" | HIGHRESAUDIO
They only have four titles but the price isn't much more than iTunes.
-
Weird, I just went into the Amazon Canada site and I cannot see any digital music download options anywhere. Even selecting Miles Davis only seems to bring up Cds, Vinyl, cassettes (!). There is not even a digital music option in the products dropdown list (like there is in the UK site). Unless it is because it is somehow detecting I’m in the UK or something?
(But the Amazon US site offers digital music option and I can see the Pasquale Grasso MP3s there, whether it would let me purchase them from the UK is another matter.)
-
Absolutely unrelated and maybe irrelevant here .. But the amazon kindle store is digital too and being in Denmark there is no Amazon.dk. So if I want to order kindle books I'm directed to amazon.com cause Amazon.co.uk only accepts Brittish customers ordering kindle books.
I suspect you're forced to use Amazon.co.uk?
-
can't you just log in into amazon.com and order from there?
-
-
By the way I have already downloaded most of Pasquale’s solo EPs from amazon here in the UK, so no problems here!
-
I tried again, doesn't work. I'd have to provide a US credit card billing address "to confirm US residence" which I don't have.

On a very superficial note, I’m wondering what pickup does his Trenier sport nowadays. It’s a JS floater, but what exactly? I really like the tone he gets (of course, it kind of helps it’s Pasquale Grasso). I’m sorry if this has already been discussed...

Thank you, David! I knew that his Charlie Christian was from Peter Biltoft. Good to know that his present one comes from the same builder. Great workshop the other day, by the way! Thanks so much for making it happen!!

I was browsing (g.a.s.ing) the various guitars on Trenier's website and the section for the CALORE model includes an audio only sample with Grasso playing Monk's INTROSPECTION which may have been undiscovered by anyone seeking more of Grasso's playing.

I never get tired of that song. Hoagy was a great talent, as are these musicians. I haven't hears Samara Joy, and that's my loss. I keep finding astonishing talent on YouTube.

An original composition from Pasquale, 'White Nights'.
-
Rossano Sportiello posted this on his YT channel: "The joy of getting together and play jazz informally and without anything specifically planned."
-
This feels so strange to my ears : the sound of the guitar and his playing evokes Johnny Smith/Billy Bauer/Jimmy Rainey, sometime in the early 50's but the crisp drums and the well defined bass sound absolutely "today" ....
