Jazz Guitar Today talks toĀ Dan BaraszuĀ and Joseph Patrick MooreĀ about their version ofĀ the MetallicaĀ classic, “Seek & Destroy”

Bob Bakert: Jazz Guitar Today has as one of its missions to help promote the expansion of “what is jazzā€ and more specifically “what is jazz guitar”? What instruments, tone, repertoire etc.? Ā Cory Christiansen among others has said many times, ā€œjazz is a languageā€. Ā That being said Dan Baraszu and Joseph Patrick Moore apply the jazz ā€œlanguageā€ to this unlikely piece, the ā€œclassicā€ Metallica tune ā€œSeek and Destroyā€. Ā 

When I heard this I applauded them for their creativity and called them immediately to see if they wanted to talk about their choice… I love the classics and standards but I also love this effort at expanding the horizons and the genre… Can you think of a tune that you can address?

Send me your comments and videos but meanwhile enjoy ā€œSeek and Destroyā€ (full video below)!
