Over 30 years ago, guitarist Alex de Grassi sat down to record a few tunes for his cousin’s new record label. His album Turning, Turning Back not only helped launch the Windham Hill name, but it also ushered in what would later be known as New Age Music. Since then, the Grammy nominated musician has continued to evolve as an international artist. Alex De Grassi joins us to play some old and new tunes and to talk about his long career.
