Oz Noy Trio with Anton Fig & Jimmy Haslip
“It’s Jazz. It just doesn’t sound like it.”
For his accomplishments as a trend-setting guitarist, Oz Noy won the highly acclaimed Guitar Player magazine readers poll for “Best guitar riff on a record” (2007), “Best new talent” (2008), and “Best out there guitar player” (2013).
Oz’s success both as an artist and an instrumentalist has built demand for him as an instructor. In 2011, he released two instructional videos for Jazz Heaven, entitled “Guitar Improvisational Workout” and “Play Along Workout.” Since 2015, Oz released three instructional videos for My Music Master Class (MMMC) entitled “Unlocking The Neck,” “Blues, Bends and Beyond,” and “Effects On The Gig.” He also released four videos for True Fire, entitled “Improv Wizard,” “Essentials Funk Rhythm Guitar,” “Twisted Guitar-Blues Soloing,” and “Twisted Guitar-Blues Rhythm.”
