‘It's Jazz. It just doesn't sound like it.’ This is how Oz Noy describes his mix of jazz, funk, rock, blues and R&B. You can rightly call Oz Noy Trio a supergroup, because these top notch musicians have already more than earned their spurs. This evening Oz Noy, Anton Fig and Jimmy Haslip will be on our stage performing together.
