Oz Noy

Oz Noy - Fuzzy - 2007 - Magnatude

Israeli-born guitarist Oz Noy is a progressive and iconoclastic artist who incorporates a wide array of styles into his own work, including funk, rock, blues, and jazz. Having performed from a young age, Noy was an in-demand studio musician by his early twenties. A move to New York City in 1996 eventually led to tours and session work with such artists as Chris Botti, Toni Braxton, Jeff "Tain" Watts, and others. Noy released his own album Ha! in 2005, followed by the live album Oz Live a year later. © Matt Collar © 2012 Rovi Corporation.
