Guy Strazz | Guitarist/Composer/Teacher
AfroTonic
This album blends classical, acoustic and hybrid guitars with drums, and percussion such as Tibetan bowls, Middle Eastern Darabuka and a variety of cymbals. With the exception of Kathak Blues, Overture Samba and Ronaldinho, the compositions combine notation and structure with open form modal improvisation where rhythm, texture, and colour become primary elements.
Silk Road Concerto
This is a long overdue release of a concerto I wrote over a decade ago. Flamenco master, Tomatito, gave me great feedback, but for a number of reasons mostly to do with health – I shelved it. It was almost forgotten when a friend encouraged me to give it its just birth. So here is Silk Road – Double concerto for guitar, piano and chamber orchestra
