Michael Grasso is a physician and part-time trumpet player in the Baltimore-Washington area. He is a "comeback" playing, who picked up the horn after stepping away for several years. He was born and raised in northern New Jersey. Before changing careers, he was a jazz and music composition major at the New Jersey City University. Michael has a romantic and introspective sound, inspired by Chet Baker, Chris Botti, and the lyrical style of west coast jazz. In addition to the trumpet, he plays some piano, guitar and jazz harmonica. He is a member of the Not 2 Cool Jazz Trio, which plays a mixture of standards and modern jazz. He also plays with JazWorks, Magic Ray Jazz, and is a volunteer for Bugles Across America, through which he plays taps at funerals to honor veterans. Links |
