    Agree with many mentioned in this thread. I'll give another shout out for Mr. Fry. Surprised it took until the third page to mention him. He was great a NEARFest 2007.

    Another one that I don't believe was mentioned yet is Alan Morse.

    Yes. I sort of fell off the Spock's Beard bandwagon when Neal left, but I know on the older records, Alan can go from aggressive to melancholy and do it all melodically.

    There's only one the tops them all. I've been saying this for a couple years now. But why believe me, I'm just an idiot schmo .

    When Pat Matheny says the exact same thing though, people should pay attention:

    "The best guitar player I’ve heard in maybe my entire life is floating around now, Pasquale Grasso. This guy is doing something so amazingly musical and so difficult.Mostly what I hear now are guitar players who sound a little bit like me mixed with a little bit of Sco and a little bit of Frisell, using a couple of amps onstage with a little bit of delay. Then they say they don’t listen to me or Sco or Frisell; all they listen to is Grant Green. I kind of go, “Really?” (laughs) What’s interesting about Pasquale is that he doesn’t sound anything like that at all. In a way, it is a little bit of a throwback, because his model – which is an incredible model to have – is Bud Powell. He has somehow captured the essence of that language from piano onto guitar in a way that almost nobody has ever addressed. He’s the most significant new guy I’ve heard in many, many years. That’s exciting for me."

    Kavus Torabi --- of Gong --- especially for his songwriting

    Jamie Holka --- touring with Captain Beyond at the moment --- his electric style reminds me of Adrian Belew, fast and wild

    Second the vote on Pasquale Grasso. In addition to being an incredible jazz player, his classical chops are impeccable!

    Maybe my ear isn't tuned to this correctly. For some reason it sounds as if he's playing a different song than the backing band.

    Pasquale Grasso is stupidly amazing; look at those fast arachnoid fingers; I NEVER heard of him before this. Thanks.

    Here is the story about Pascuale -- from an early age, both he and his brother Luigi, a tenor sax player, came under the tutelage of Barry Harris, One of the last remaining vestiges to the bebop era ( if you don't know who he is, As Barry said, if they came up in Detroit, from Paul chambers to James Jamerson and Motown, they studied music with him ).

    Technique wise, Pasquale has really mastered the art of hybrid picking, of using pick and fingers in a pianistic way, A manner in which not only does he grab the incidental note, but he can combine any combination of dyads, triads, clusters, partial chords, seventh chords, rootless voicings , harmonized lines, contrary motion and counterpoint. You can also use hybrid picking to play fast arpeggiated lines that plectrum only pickers may previously use something like cross picking (eg, D-D-U patterns) to emulate finger style atpeggiated picking. In the development of hybrid picking, he was very much influenced by an older musician and guitarist named Chuck Wayne, and studied with one of Chuck wayne's students . Hybrid picking allows you to use both the pick and the fingers in a way that is the best of both worlds. In terms of straight plectrum picking, he eschews straight D-U alternative picking ( John McLaughlin, Al de Meola ) which he says is too mechanical and machine-like , for directional – economy – sweep picking. He also borrows from his classical training and finds his locus of control not in the elbow, or wrist, but the thumb and index finger . That allows him greater control and less movement, which increases the speed of attack .

    The problem with his recordings, such as they exist, is that the guitar is recorded often very badly, like it's a bootleg or something. He plays a beautiful guitar, a fully carved model made by Bryant Trenier, with a specially made floating Charlie Christian style pick up made by Pete Bitloff.

    If you knew anything about all Charlie Christian pick ups, you knew that they were 2 pound heavy magnets that were screwed onto the guitar. The new floating pick up's by Pete Bitloff are incredible .

    This is probably more than you wanted to know about Pasquale but I've studied him a lot and I've changed my technique from 100% finger style to hybrid picking because of him. . Anybody that aspires to play pianistic style solo guitar, needs to study him.

    I went to his website: He has no live dates. Weird.

    AND

    as you say, every release he has that is official, given a quick sampling, sounds awful. double weird.

    Hey is based in NYC. Sometimes he goes overseas, he is from Italy after all, and his brother Luigi is based in Paris. Right now, last time I checked his Facebook page, he was performing with musicians in Israel. But as you can see from his Facebook page, he usually plays several times a week in local restaurants and very small clubs in New York City, when he is in town .

    Yes, Someone with proper technical knowledge needs to help him record a proper record with a decent sound. Great thing is he is a great jazz position so there's no huge overhead costs, he could knock out a proper record in a couple hours or a day at most.

    Really enjoying Handmade Cities. I agree with the Vai reference, and I hear some really original directions with some of the songs, especially Electric Sunrise - - -

    Besides some of the players already listed these three come to mind right away:
    Hirvonen is also on a couple of Brian Krock albums...both of those should work for anyone who likes Claudia Quintet or Tipographica.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fToH7FdEFRs ...Only have heard Meszaros w/ Ju, really like his use of pedals and the overall sound he gets from the SGV.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BkRKC6NIgM Seabrook is on a couple of Ben Allison records and has played w/ Allison Miller. (may be a little more depraved than the other two).
