An Interview with Pasquale Grasso

In a featured interview on KUVO JAZZ, host Rodney Franks had a conversation with Pasquale Grasso, a revolutionary figure in jazz guitar.

The Italian-born guitarist is often highlighted for his unique technique that bridges classical piano-inspired fingerwork with bebop traditions. He studied classical guitar at the Conservatoria Giovanni Battista Martini in Bologna and won a Grammy for his work on Samara Joy’s 2022 album Linger Awhile as well as accompanying her on her 2021 self-titled debut record in 2021.
