Jazz guitarist Andy DePasquale (Andy D) grew up immersed in the New York City jazz scene of the 70’s and 80’s. He started his pursuit of the music as a teenager, under the guidance of the legendary Chuck Wayne. Ultimately, he became a disciple of Philadelphia’s great guitar virtuoso Jimmy Bruno, studying with him for number of years. During that time, he recorded two CDs and played numerous gigs around the NY/NJ area. He relocated to Tampa Bay in 2012, and has been part of the jazz scene here ever since. He has most recently been appearing with the jazz group After Five.
