Passionfruit Trio is a collaborative vehicle for the experimental works of guitarist Guy Strazz. The trio includes Keith Manning on Indian and Middle Eastern percussion, Michel Latumaelissa on 5-string electric bass and Guy on an 8-string guitar vina and classical guitar.

For the past twenty years, since receiving an Australia Council Music Fellowship for his experimental work, Guy’s compositions and improvisation have continued to produce carefully crafted music synthesis that reflects his extensive knowledge and skill in Latin music, Indian classical music, Jazz and Western classical music.

Passionfruit Trio’s musical explorations have been forged by renown artists such as Sandy Evans, Bobby Singh and Matt McMahon, performances at venues such as the Sydney Opera House, the Melbourne Jazz Festival, Adelaide Guitar Festival, and Japan Expo, and compositions released on labels such as Tall Poppies Records, Birdland Records, ABC Music and Underscore Records (India).
