New York guitar phenom Oz Noy is that rare artist - one who has cultivated his own distinct voice within the context of classic structures. His latest album, Booga Looga Loo reawakens timeless Boogaloo meets Jazz meets R&B grooves with Noy's extended, unpredictable harmonic sensibility, stinging phrasing, and deft musical economy. Helping to realize Noy's concept of the boogaloo record is a cast of musicians equally versed in the backbeat and the beyond, including drummers Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl and Steve Ferrone; bassists Will Lee, John Patitucci, and James Genus; and keyboardists Jerry Z and Brian Charette. Other contributors include Kevin Hays, Seamus Blake, and Anne Drummond. Album Tracks 1. Boogaloo Fever 2. Chocolate Soufflé 3. A Soul Thang 4. Bemsha Swing 5. Booga Looga Loo 6. I Got a Woman 7. God Only Knows 8. Eight Days a Week
