Pasquale Grasso
Electric Guitar Solo on
The Trouble With Me Is You

About

Pasquale Grasso's electric guitar solo is the sole improvisation on this medium-swing performance of the Marvin Fisher composition. Taking one full chorus of the extended 36-bar AABA' form in E-flat at 163 BPM, Grasso delivers one of his more developed statements on the album. The slightly unusual form, with its extra four bars in the final A section, provides additional harmonic territory for Grasso to navigate, and he responds with a solo that balances technical brilliance with melodic coherence across the full chorus.

Pasquale Grasso was 31 to 32 years old at the time.
