“DE GRASSI'S SOLO STEEL-STRING GUITAR PIECES RESEMBLE ORCHESTRAL OVERTURES MORE THAN MERE SONGS. ALEX'S CONTROL AND SENSITIVITY ARE ALMOST AS STRIKING AS HIS TECHNICAL EXPERTISE.”
Guitar Player Magazine
“HIS TOUCH IS AS EXQUISITE AS HIS LYRICISM, AND HIS IMPROVISATIONAL/ COMPOSITIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS IS AS INTRICATE AND SUBTLE AS A SPARKLING CRYSTAL.”
Down Beat Magazine
“DE GRASSI MERGES INTRICATE FINGER-PICKING TECHNIQUE WITH AN UNCANNY GIFT FOR MELODIC INVENTION.”
Billboard Magazine
