Quasimado Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Barry Harris has said that the Grasso Brothers (Luigi - alto, Pasquale - guitar) are "the best musicians in the world". This features Luigi's arrangement/ alto. Pasquale also solos. These cats are incredible musicians. There's a lot more stuff on youtube.

AllenLowe Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) love that Midnight - but there is something about the trumpeter's intonation at 3:00 that seems off. Edited April 6, 2019 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grasso Brothers are total mothers.I was listening to Luigi on Small's Live, and got so excited by his playing, I had fantasies of going down to Smalls and shoving $20 bills down the bell of his alto as he was playing. I wound up making the only donation to Small's I ever made. I love Pasquale's solo guitar bag. He's like a combination of Bud Powell and Art Tatum on that thing.

The Interlude that happens at the 2:35 mark is actually an orchestration of Barry Harris' pre-intro intro on this recording of "Round Midnight."
