Igor Osypov

A Ukrainian guitarist with a crunchy, distorted signature who moves between jazz, indie-rock and fusion, whose album Hyper OZ blends syncopated beats, synths and shifting vocals.

Guitarist and composer Igor Osypov has become one of the distinct voices in jazz, indie-rock and fusion, his crunchy, slightly distorted sound bringing a fresh and complete concept to concert stages and jazz clubs around the world. As both sideman and bandleader, the Ukrainian musician has appeared at major festivals and clubs including the Village Vanguard, NPR Tiny Desk, Copenhagen Jazz Festival, XJazz Berlin and Montreux Jazz Festival, and has won awards at competitions across Europe; one album he worked on as part of Logan Richardson's project "Blues People" was listed among the New York Times' top three jazz albums of 2018. His album "Hyper OZ" takes the listener on a sonic adventure, flowing from quirky, syncopated beats into clear melodic verses and choruses, with crackling synths, a wide range of guitar tones from smooth neo-soul to raw riffs, vocals dancing between ethereal falsetto and dynamic rap, and vintage piano and voice samples lending a nostalgic tape feel over picky bass lines and punchy drums.
