Featuring Ari Roland on bass and Keith Balla on drums. 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 Birdland!  Grasso has developed an astounding technique and concept informed by bebop pioneers like Bud Powell, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and the classical-guitar tradition.
