{"product_id":"grasso-luigi_the-greenwich-session_2025_pia","title":"THE GREENWICH SESSION","description":"Luigi Grasso first experienced New York when he was twenty. He soaked up all the artistic possibilities thriving in the Big Apple and bit into them with fierce gusto. Jazz already flowed in his veins, and he would enrich this impetuous river with multiple confluences he discovered in the prolific underground of the global city. Encounters, musicians, friends, artists, approaches, differences, additions, fusions—the Italian had found his America, for better or for words. In words and music. Like in Greenwich Village, where he would find a refuge in 2014. In the heart of Manhattan, between SoHo, Broadway, Chelsea, and the Hudson. This once bohemian neighborhood, where trees thrive at the foot of red-brick buildings, is more often called \"the Village.\" Here, the young saxophonist from Southern Italy would set down his audacity and appetite. He would quickly fraternize with the best, in this artists' refuge where gospel, rock, rap, and soul collide, merge, and enrich each other, and where, above all, jazz reigns supreme. There would be the Small Jazz Club where Luigi would record \"New York Session.\" But Greenwich is also the name of a meridian. The zero point from which everything departs east or west. Just like Luigi Grasso, who travels back and forth across the two shores of this arbitrary line, from cities to countries, from anecdotes to stories, from old to new continents, gorging himself on humanity. In the end, he wanted to place these multiple meridians on his artistic map. He did so with \"The Greenwich Session,\" accompanied by an orchestra of complicit virtuosos: Pasquale Grasso (gt), Ari Roland (cb), Keith Balla (dr), Fabien Mary (tp), Thomas Savy (Bcl), Armand Dubois (horn), Balthazar Naturel (st, eng h), Thomas Gomes (as), Joan MarSauqué (tp), China Moses (v), and Paola Mazzoli (v). Original tracks, and as many bravura pieces, that tell of his travels and where his saxophone frees its voice. Hence this imperative invitation to travel.","brand":"GRASSO, LUIGI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55342607860056,"sku":null,"price":23999881.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3760300317150_74cfb118-39dd-4b63-93cf-f4c1545ebaae.jpg?v=1765827762","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/grasso-luigi_the-greenwich-session_2025_pia","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
