To play such tune, at this tempo, and showing the amount of Jazz Language that both Pasquale and Emmet display is just ridiculous. Also, its hard to see people playing these crazy fast tempos nowadays. This is just amazing
This is a weird thing to say, but Grasso's tone is just superb! Typically, tone goes out the window at a tempo like that, but his tone and touch are magic here. So smooth, mellow, controlled, and balanced. No plinkiness, loss of control, sloppy timing... at that tempo, that's insane. I have never heard anyone play guitar at a tempo like that with such control and touch.
I couldn’t agree more! Metheny’s playing on All the Things You Are on the record Question and Answer also comes to mind - he has such a great touch while absolutely burnin’. Feels like he could have easily added another 50bpm without breaking a sweat!
They have. He's a monster to be sure ad I absolutely adore his playing. but look up some of bop guitarists who he is in the tradition of... start with the inimitable Tal Farlow. Tal, who was self taught and started relatively late, was an absolute beast at these kinds of tempos. There's a rendition of "Lover" that he does, that is blistering. Not as outright fast as this but pretty damned close. Listen to his lines.. th-cam.com/video/xDM-FfPEeXA/w-d-xo.html
I got to hear Pasquale live at unf a few years back. He performed and gave a master class. Truly one of the most inspiring musical experiences I’ve ever had.
same here at daytona state college. i didnt bring my guitar and he let me play his! i tried to decline but he kept insisting. he was an extremely warm, kind person. i still flex about that experience. it was a year or two ago, so he may have been on the same circuit. i saw that video of him and barry green playing (billys bounce?? cant remember) were you there for that?
Finally a jazz guitarist receiving the recognition they have earnt and deserve; just a shame they have to be quite literally navigating around the neck at mindblowing speed on a barely attainable tempo. I don't think even the minority of people could comprehend the precision that Grasso has. What a musician. What a mind. What a shining example of pure hard-work. Fly away Pasquale!!!
He later explained that unfortunately the recording day he was unable to play it at 600 bpm because the neck of the guitar had not yet been fireproofed due to the speed of the finger. So it went down to 400. 🤣🤣
Yeah, hes becoming 1 of my favs, still Mr.tain watts is a monster, always smiling, kyle reminds me of him, yeah Tain throws bombs out as far as bass drum and cymbals!!!!!
7:57 is this a traditional tag at the end? Anyone recognize that, is there a name for it, or is it something they planned? Just seems like a too specific a tag to have been improvised.
Pasquale playing with his brother Luigi in 2017: th-cam.com/video/-hG2tirlYYY/w-d-xo.html It's from an album so there is a bunch of other videos from that album.
all musicians are great and gave high technique and taste proof, both soloist and rhythm section. I do really appreciate the bebop flowing into solos both for Mr. Grasso and for Mr. Cohen, among the many citations i really appreciated the Bird's one at th-cam.com/video/IQ7y9D_gi2k/w-d-xo.html
Love the medium swing rendition of this timeless classic!
Medium swing?
Looool
Ballad is more like it....
Yeah 400 bpm ballad
🤣🤣
Crazy hearing a tune like this and not seeing the rhythm section fighting for their lives
Lo sai
@@GtotheK You watching from Italy?
@@TurtleTurtlez yes bro, it means "you know it" which is basically agreeing with you, sorry if I confused ya lmao, I was messing around with a friend.
@@GtotheK No worries man lol
190 BPM... crazy stuff!
400bpm!!! Smoke coming from Russel Halls bass 🔥 how can he look so relaxed?
think 200 bpm?
300 I thinj
Flawless technique. Textbook. Oh...and CHOPS
190 bpm
what are you people on about lmao its 400bpm, bass line is doing quarter notes
1:23 Emmet's eyes: "Will I have to solo after this!?"
holy crap, he delivers too
@@georgehiggins1320 Oh he sure does!!

I think his economy picking style helps with that, an insane virtuoso in any case
Dang ... its just carzy how calm Russell is playing this as if it was 100bpm
Maybe the trick is his shirt? Uhm...
i n s a n e !
konsti_papa i think that He think is an violin ...don't you let him know that is bass so wee keep him duing what he is duing ...yo 4 real !
Absolutely relaxing
:)
Nothing about that was relaxing. It was a literal shot 💉 of espresso into my veins.
Maybe if you’re on coke
I think the world have never seen someone play the guitar like Pasquale Grasso, just genius.
@Kevin Lynch I’ve heard a couple of his tunes but will definitely check the one you suggested, thanks!
He’s one of the best I’ve heard. But so is Tosin Abasi. Check him out. And his band, Animals As Leaders
He plays like Tal farlow

Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
Pasquale is a generational talent.
Just another reason why I am up until 2.30am listening live in UK every week. ❤️👏❤️👏❤️👏❤️
If you're within a reasonable distance of London, Pasquale will be at Ronnie Scott's on 6th July with Samara Joy!
@@Bennyplays His website says that he and Samara will be coming out with an album soon.
@@martinbreslow1401 Yes, Samara's album is out on 9th July on Whirlwind Recordings. samarajoy-whirlwind.bandcamp.com/album/samara-joy
There's a reason why Pat Metheny gives shout outs to Pasquale Grasso
That bass player 🤯🤯🤯
This is superhuman bass playing
Bassist in Berserk Mood.
Everybody in Berserk Mood.
@@taf44tt8io I mean so fast, so stunning, yeah, locomotive is the right word
Really love when piano solo ended and drummer started solo with eye like ‘shit, my turn’ LOL
True
Kyle, guy taking a long solo to give the rest of the band some time to breath. MVP
When there is just too much heavenly musical talent & genuis in one room, the Spirit just takes over and let the Church say, "AMEN!!!"
Thats about 380 - 400 bpm, good god!!
430 bro !!!
192 bpm :)
@@AIKIDOSILVERDALE you halved it man
It has some fluctuation to it, but it's pretty much bang on 385.
This just put a huge smile on my face. Wow. Tremendous. Swing and drive and groove
Wow that drummer so clear the form and melody. Wow just wow.
That was the best guitar solo I've ever heard on that song!
I just stared at the screen with tears in my eyes for this entire video
Jesus, what incredible force of nature IS this? I need to keep up on the newer generations of jazz musicians.
This has to be one of the greatest guitar performances of the 21st century, and of all time!
That bass though!
This the most gangsta thing i have seen in my life
That's hilarious and perfect!
This is just incredible.
incredible playthrough; the bass is an absolute runner.
Fantastic!! Thanks for posting.
I’m amazed that they were able to keep the energy while playing it so slow.
I didn’t expect it, but now I’m happy.
this guitar player is unbelevable, with emmets group the best
3:27 Nice Parker quote!
Oh, and for our next trick, we'll all walk barefoot over hot coals to 6 choruses of "Loverman"
lol
I know right
4.20 - Emmet taking it to the next level absolutely amazing!!! 👏
Art Tatum meets George Van Eps, beautiful . The whole band kills it!
Reminds me of the blistering Jazz Jam Sessions of old but with such poise and panache!!!
Emmet listened to Pasquale (whom I adore for his comping Samara) exactly, and added something - so fine.
Finally a jazz guitarist receiving the recognition they have earnt and deserve; just a shame they have to be quite literally navigating around the neck at mindblowing speed on a barely attainable tempo. I don't think even the minority of people could comprehend the precision that Grasso has. What a musician. What a mind. What a shining example of pure hard-work. Fly away Pasquale!!!
Blown out! Fantastic!
Wow! Just wow!
Emmet went crazy !
That might the fastest tempo i ever heard!!!!!, plus 8min!!!!😳🙄🤯,this is becoming go to🤩
Emmet´s solo was nuts amazing, all great
Hey did quote salt peanuts????
Holy Moly. Shred lines of bebop fury!
This QUARTET is great! Bis!
Burnin ! 🔥🔥
Amazing chops!!!!!!!!!!!!
The bass is insane 😅
MIRACULOUS - Nothing less! THANK YOU from Rio de Janeiro.
BRAVO-LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

4:16 is so slick
Wild bunch. Veyr nice. Tks
Man Russel was freakin cookin.

Insanely brilliant
Is it possible to learn this power?
nice melody!
drummer is such a badass
Yeah, hes becoming 1 of my favs, still Mr.tain watts is a monster, always smiling, kyle reminds me of him, yeah Tain throws bombs out as far as bass drum and cymbals!!!!!
What a great player!
Wooooow this is Tal Farlow!!!
Wow!
Dig all the Bird quotes.
Why is the drummer staring out the window? He waiting for the pizza delivery guy to show up? LOL! Smoking band! Great performance. Love it.
Hahaha
Lol I've got a cousin who is drummer. when he plays straight ahead and he turns his head to the side, look out!
Drummer face
Sound great !
Wow, wow, wow!!!
Damn! That pianist is killer
I smile each time I watch this superb performance. Woooooow!!!!!!!🤳
