Guy Strazz Quartet
Friday 7 October 2022 from 5am to 7:30am
Multi awarded guitar master and composer Guy Strazz and his classic guitar-piano quartet present music where tradition and innovation come together.
His original compositions and improvisations embody jazz and Latin styles as well as pieces nuanced by Indian classical music, an approach extended to arrangements of classic standards such as Miles Davis’ All Blues, of which music writer John Shand says: “The Indo-jazz reinterpretation of Davis’s All Blues is stunningly beautiful”. The quartet will also play works by Rodgers and Hammerstein, Chick Corea,Tom Jobim, and Leonard Cohen.
The quartet comprises talented and in-demand young players in pianist Casey Golden and bassist Karl Dunnicliff while drummer Dave Goodman is a nationally acknowledged jazz master.
