Guy Strazz Music

Guy Strazz is an award-winning Australian jazz guitarist, composer, and educator. Highly regarded as a jazz guitar master and innovator, his understated virtuosic style and compositions seamlessly bridge the worlds of modern jazz, Afro-Brazilian rhythms, Western classical, and Indian classical traditions.

​

With a music PhD that bridges the gap between performance and composition as processes driven by improvisation, Guy’s intercultural explorations have been supported by an Australia Council Music Fellowship. His career highlights include studying in Philadelphia under the late jazz legend Pat Martino, recording with fusion icon Mike Stern, and producing the critically acclaimed album Calcutta Express in India.
