Halloween Hybrid Jazz - With Virtuoso Guitarist Juanito Pascual!

Oh my....how can this episode of "Hybrid Jazz From Trish Hennessey" be described?  Let's try :)  First, the FUN planned for you is too amazing for words.  Carefully chosen songs for the season of Halloween - some funky, some scary - others sensual to create the mood.  No tricks - only TREATS! With that in mind, we give you the intense artistry of handsome and brilliant Juanito Pascual!  Completely magnetic, this Minneapolis raised acoustic guitar master will sweep you into the embrace of his gift.  National Public Radio has called him, "One of the hottest flamenco guitarists in recent years."  For yours truly, this quote doesn't quite tell the story. Because, you see, Juanito is a flamenco HYBRID - cultivating the respect for a style that he clearly owns when he plays - but also paying homage to the heroes that he heard as learned to play - at age 11.  Jimi Hendrix, Johann Sebastian Bach, Miles Davis and The Grateful Dead.  His music is firmly rooted in traditions but he is not to be boxed. That passion spills over with Classical and Jazz and is influenced profoundly by Beatles and the beauty that he encounters in his many journeys - well before his 2003 debut solo, "Cosas en Comun."   From his stay in Spain where he learned to survive on the streets - to his return to the States to study at the New England Conservatory (graduating with honors!) - to the formation of the New Flamenco Trio in 2012 - Juanito Pascual is recognized as a formidable talent in both America and in Spain.  Where major artists revere him as an equal. There is so much to his story!  And we'll get to all of it - but the main reason for Juanito's visit is to tell you of his tour in support of his new CD.  We'll hear most amazing tracks...and The Chat Room will be well-stocked with virtual Halloween candy.  And MAGIC (shhhhh!)
