Israeli guitarist Oz Noy is one of the brightest lights in contemporary guitar music today. Oz moved New York in 1996 aged 24 and in the subsequent years he has made his mark in a city bustling with talent and opportunity, especially in the field of jazz. Oz was no stranger to success, however, with over 10 years of playing experience and an established reputation as one of Israel’s top-rated studio and live performers.
A quick peek at Noy’s CV reveals a who’s who of the New York scene, balancing a respectable portfolio of work as a session player Stateside with an equally impressive and rapidly expanding list of releases in his own right. If you can judge the quality of a player by the company they keep then Oz is definitely A-list material. Drummers Keith Carlock and Anton Fig, not forgetting heavyweight bassists such as Will Lee, Reggie Washington and James Genus are all acutely aware of Oz’s incredibly infectious and remarkably accomplished playing.
