Pasquale Grasso

Why we picked it

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. Grasso will be performing with some of the best rhythm section players in Edmonton.
