I'm surprised the strings of Pasquale's guitar haven't melted from the heat of his lightning fast fingers!

[MorningCarnival]

It doesn’t get better than this. Outstanding!

Thank you for another video of this amazing event to jazz guitar history!! off course Ari and Keith just as breathtaking as the legendary genius Peter Bernstein and bebop virtuoso Pasquale Grasso. Their styles go so well together, it would be magnificent if they make a record together.

As an amateur it's clear these guys are incredible musicians within their own right, but wow Grasso is just something else. A rare example of someone who's managed to translate jazz language from a myriad of instruments and actually apply it to the guitar with mindblowing precision. I've never heard that level of musicality in a guitarist - i'd aspire to have just 20% of his talent, work ethic and musical sensibility.

Pete has such a cool signature style, two notes and you know it’s him. Wonderful rhythm section and that drum solo .. Wow!

[jefferyneu]

Mr.Grasso is the absolute master of jazz guitar!❤️

[nliebert]

love this drum solo great clarity these pauses are refreshing

[KBMars]

It is wonderful to see these masters enjoy each other's craft. Peter so humbly admiring Pasquale but then adding layers of depth and surprise for all of us.

I'm like a minute thirty into this and I'm already blown away.

I think only now 7 years out of Philly I finally understand Chris's. I was always more of a Time guy, but Chris's is for touring national acts while Time is the "hip" and young jazz scene. Love watching these concerts, makes me feel like im back on Samson st!

thAt bass player!.. Ari Roland tearing it up!

[robertodetree]

Wow! you guys are fantastic musicians, what a joy listening!

[longhaulblue]

Good grief. That drum solo was sublime.

[nnight]

Pasquale Grasso is slowly proving himself as not just a legendary guitarist of the 21st century but as one of the jazz guitar heroes of all time. His musicality and lines when playing at burning speeds, and his picking hand! Holy shit! So relaxed and so fast!

[onceovereasy]

Great post! Swingin' stuff..nice drum work....tasty!

[MarkInLA]

Aside from all the other greatness here, thanks for an excellent bowed bass solo !! Not enough bowed solos....

[JackTheSkunk]

Just saw a video where Jimmy Bruno was saying what a phenomenal player Pasqale Grasso was. High praise indeed !!

[lukasbb]

Love how bernstein *packages* his lines

[arataka]

Pasquale double-time sounds as fast as a piano player Peter defended himself good😊
