“It’s Jazz. It just doesn’t sound like it.”

This is how virtuoso guitarist Oz Noy describes his intoxicating blend of jazz, funk, rock, blues, and R&B. 

Born in Israel, Oz started his career at 13 playing jazz, blues, and rock. At 16, he was playing with top artists and already at 24, he was one of the most established guitar players in the country. 

Since his NYC arrival in 1996, Oz has made a huge impact on the local and international scene. His unique and intoxicating style has broken all the rules of instrumental guitar music by focusing on the groove. All-stars such as Keith Carlock, Anton Fig, Vinnie Colaiuta, and Dave Weckl often contribute on drums, with bassists Will Lee, James Genus, and Reggie Washington. 

In 2003, Oz released his debut “”Oz Live” recorded at NYC's legendary Bitter End. In 2005, he released his acclaimed album HA! with his all-star band feat. Fig, Carlock, Lee and Genus plus special guests Mike Stern and George Whitty. In 2007, a licensing deal opened the door for Oz's music in Japan. Later that year saw the release of "Fuzzy", Oz's third record with all-star band incl. guests Vinnie Colaiuta, bassist Jimmy Johnson, and keyboardists Whitty and Jim Beard.

Oz's fourth album "Schizophrenic", featured Lee, Fig, Carlock, Weckl, Ricky Peterson, Chris Palmero, and special guest Steve Lukather.
