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

By age 24, he was one of the country’s most established studio guitar players. Oz was also a member of the house band on Israel’s top-rated television show for more than two years.

Since his arrival in New York in 1996, Oz has made a huge impact on the local and international music scene.
