[@InnominabileNessuno]

Pasquale the greatest guitarist of his generation and he's going to be one of the greatest ever

[@guitarreilly]

Edoardo Giuffria ever heard of Julian lage

[@InnominabileNessuno]

yes, and I confirm that Pasquale is better

[@guitarreilly]

Edoardo Giuffria technique yes phrasing definitely not

[@grandpasy2883]

That's a cute opinion you have there kiddo... he's an artist, he's not any "better than" Pat Martino, Chuck Loeb, Nick Colionne etc. etc. ... just because you like his style doesn't mean your opinion (or anyone else's) is right or wrong. He shreds-- sure, but there are artists out there that are just as epic as Pasquale. An artist never judges another artist as better or best. Many know there is always unknown some 17 year old out there who practices 10 hour days and shreds like no other too.

[@MoNsTa4DuB]

He's probably going to be the greatest guitarist ever lived

[@cnrbsmth]

Pasquale Grasso. Might be my new favourite guitarist.

[@matthewrotker-lynn7339]

Pasquale is basically what piano sounds like on guitar

[@MoNsTa4DuB]

So true plus guitar is better than piano as proved by his playing!

[@alejandrosoza8006]

Pasquale is basically pure swag

[@konoharf]

Exactly!

[@pholeare]

is basically what piano sounds like on piano either

[@119FU]

*pure swang

[@luisregidor]

Beautiful guitar solo!

[@TheMotiondevotion]

This has me DANCING AROUND THE ROOM. What an effortless and infectious sense of SWING you achieved. GREAT STUFF. THANK YOU !

[@sudha4128]

Great music and wonderful performers, everyone. Thank you for the video and music. As an ex-New Yorker I really miss the jazz scene, especially the cosy clubs downtown!

[@dr.brianjudedelimaphd743]

Bud, Barry, and Tatum on the harmony and Bird and Bud on the solo lines

[@twayburn]

That's it exactly. Dr. Thomas Wayburn, PhD (and keep on using your correct title. You have reminded me that I should.)

[@HFSTube]

Classic guitar sound. Reminds me on the young Jimmy Raney ...

[@medicicard]

Great sounds. Being a drummer, I enjoyed the steady, tasty beat of Charles Goold on drums. Great rhythm section. Everyone great!!!!..... Slow Boat To China

[@TheFanusik]

Beautiful. I watch this almost every day. Thank you !

[@MoNsTa4DuB]

Amazing well deserved recognition!

[@vecernicek2]

The bass solo with guitar comping is my fav part.

[@AdrianWhyte]

Unreal, just amazing!

[@fredr1c]

Beautiful video as usual -- thanks for making these public.

[@AndyDrudy]

I love this guitar players playing! No idea who he is but on nearly EVERY KZbin video he features the guitar is so quite it is almost inaudible.

[@rogerstallion815]

Makes a nice change for a guitarist to be the quietist member of a band .

[@lorenzomorabito6035]

Pasquale Grasso!

[@mattnsim]

6:05 has a Bach'ism in it. Reminds me of a 2 bar phrase from Bach's Prelude in E major. Very cool

[@tonytooth1573]

great solos over the amazing rhythm section

[@jimcoleman2369]

I have been around music for many years and have heard some of the greatest in history ... Pasquale Grasso is an extremely special case ... (So is Joe Cohn) .. But recently the esteemed pianist, Michael Weiss , stated that he never catargoriszes any musician as "The Greatest," but, Pasquale Grasso is the "Greatest" .....

[@User-fv1jx]

This is great!

[@gabrielwareing]

This is a great video, thank you for sharing!

[@analisismacuarros7866]

Amazing performance!!!!

[@JazzGuitar420]

Why haven't I heard of this Pasquale Grasso guy before? What a boss!

[@pada443]

So nice

[@onemoremisfit]

Nice! Would like better if that guitar solo was further up in the mix.

[@sitarnut]

No kiddin', pump it next time.....

[@laslecturasdeisabel9320]

[@jazz1bro]

Sounds like the cats have done their homework! Good job!

[@TheJazzMusiciansVoice]

I'm using a 5d Mark II along with several pieces of equipment and custom grading style. Monitors, lens, tripod, external audio.

[@inky960]

That's jazz! Bravo! Encore!

[@pablobliteration60]

5:36 Bud Powell line from Strictly Confidential!

[@bobhess5986]

It burns my ass that people go to a jazz club where great musicians are playing their hearts out and the audience is showing disrespect by flapping their mouths.

[@raefblack7906]

ON A SLOW BOAT TO CHINA Key of Bb 4/4 [ Bb | G7 | Eb | Edim | | Bb | D7 | Eb | G7 | | Eb | Edim | Bb | G7 | | C7 | C7 | Cm7 | F7 | || Bb | G7 | Eb | Edim | | Bb | D7 | Eb | G7 | | Eb | Ebm | Bb | G7 | | C7 | F7 | Bb | Bb |

[@Mortison77577]

+Raef Black That's a ton of structure for just one song. I can't tell where it is in the chord progression from just listening.

[@raefblack7906]

+Ester Samuels the song starts at 0:26 , hope that helps.

[@gems07111]

+Raef Black ... And it's in Db, thus the title...

[@raefblack7906]

jamale davis I play the alto. should I have said.

[@raefblack7906]

+jamale davis | Bb | G7 | Cm | C#dim|Dm| D7| Eb| G7+5+9|Cm7| Ebm7 Ab7 |Dm G7|C7| F#7|Cm7 B7+9+5| Bb | G7+5 | Cm | Em7 A7 | Bb | Ab7 | Gm | G7 | Eb | Ebm D7+5| Dm | G7b9 | C7 | F7 | Bb | Cm F7 | A reharmozitation because your group sounds good. If you don't like it , I can do another.

[@24gatesisawanker]

As much as I would dream of being a professional musician and playing guitar or whatever all day ( and being good enough for others to listen too of course , ) I could never enjoy playing where everyone around is chatting and talking while the band plays, ( I can understand when everyone chats in an elevator to ignore the music but why go to see a band and talk and ( usually shout ) at each other while they play. It kills it for me. ( Great line up of musicians here though. )

[@owencooke5461]

Because the music is so good you can talk over it and have it be"background" and also pay full attention and it has depth

[@meezydarko]

Classic smalls

[@bronzewand]

I actually enjoy playing those kind of gigs sometimes. The most fun are when people are dancing

[@konradinho62]

Just ...wow!

[@MikeRubini]

Great Stefano! =)

[@Mortison77577]

nice sound quality

[@upT3mpo]

great performance! what camera are you using? Any extra equipment of filming or just the camera? I assume you recorded the audio with a portable recorder and joined tracks? cheers!

[@meezydarko]

Stefano "swag all on the beat" doglioni

[@bbone610]

DIG! Very nice!

[@MaggioDiJoe]

yeah!!

[@boudioulechat]

This tune is based of the chords suite of "It could happens to you" no ?

[@jean-lucbersou758]

It is "a slow boat to china" from Frank Loesser .Some correspondance with "The Nearness of You " in chords progression .Pasquale Grasso est très probablement un "génie" .Choruser avec seulement le soutien harmonique de la basse à un tel niveau et à son âge c'est inimaginable,inexplicable,impossible si on est pas un peu Django,Mozart,Wes ,Ravel,Parker e tutti quanti !!!!

[@kendricbaines2415]

Similar but theres a few places that are different

[@JasonFerguson1283]

Jazz Bass Clarinet!

[@atomaalatonal]

grasso sounds like ratzer at the famous le dreher gig with baker here.

[@fryingwiththeantidote2486]

6:25

[@SIRONEDRAGON]

cool

[@seamothboy]

ha-i spent at least two bars near the beginning thinking that the sax player had a weird tone. which makes me an idiot i suppose. anyway - good stuff

[@georgechristiansen6785]

No it doesn't. Contrary to what too many jazz fans think there won't be a test.

[@seamothboy]

George Christiansen that's what they want you to think

[@brianchambers1399]

No, it's "Slow Boat to China"

[@gillyarchtop]

Does the ride cymbal and other drum parts really have to be that loud? They’re overpowering everything. Maybe it’s just a bad Room.

[@robertvaron1178]

Anonymous Me bro it’s smalls haha

[@ber334]

ride cymbal has got to go

[@gillyarchtop]

Some drummers just want to be heard. But it could be an acoustically hard reflective room. But a musician plays to the room.

[@smokemeister]

Pasquale is literally midi guitar played on a midi keyboard

[@alyoshaproductions]

Bunch of chatty Cathys in the crowd that night.
