Guy Strazz and Casey Golden

Location: Margaretta Cottage, 6 Leichhardt Street, Glebe (disabled access at 18A Cook Street, Glebe)

Performers: Guy Strazz (guitar) and Casey Golden (piano)

Programme: 2@1 is musical project that began in the late 2008 when masters, pianist Matt McMahon and guitarist Guy Strazz, released the album "2@1" on Birdland Records, which was nominated for 'Best Jazz Album of the Year' at the Australian Independent Recording Awards. Listen here:

John Shand described it as: "A radiant album", and Peter Wockner (Jazz & Beyond) said of Guy's composition Silk Road that: "It must be considered one of the most attractive crossover jazz guitar melodies this country has produced". The concert at Margaretta Cottage is the 2025 evolution of 2@1 where guitarist Guy Strazz pairs with talented pianist Casey Golden to present repertoire from the original recording as well as new compositions by both musicians. Join Guy and Casey for a musical journey of evocative melodies, improvisations and infectious rhythms.
