A freshly formed band featuring Igor Osypov and Luca Zennaro, two of the most exciting and forward-thinking voices in today’s modern jazz guitar scene. Their original compositions lie at the heart of the project, where two distinct musical personalities come together to create something vibrant and new.
Backed by a powerhouse rhythm section from Berlin’s thriving jazz community—Haggai Cohen-Milo on bass and Peter Gall on drums—the quartet explores a fluid and dynamic sound full of energy, nuance, and deep connection.
This is a group built on fresh ideas, strong chemistry, and a shared drive to push things forward.
Luca Zennaro is a guitar player, composer and bandleader born in Venice, Italy in 1997
Born in a musical family (both of his parents are piano player) and playing by ear from an early age and experimenting with improvisation drew Luca naturally to jazz music.
Luca starts performing in jazz festivals at the age of sixteen, playing with italian musicians like Stefano Onorati and Stefano Paolini.
Luca is the 2nd place winner of the international Jazz competition "Riga Jazz Stage" 2017, the finalist of the prestigious competition "Premio Massimo Urbani" 2017, and the winner of the jazz competition "Tomorrow's jazz price" in Teatro La Fenice, in Venice.
During the summer of 2017 he records his debut album "Javaskara", which receives good feedback from the critics. And during 2019 he records his second album "When nobody is listening", featuring the pianist Alessandro Lanzoni.
During the summer of 2024 he tours Europe with the pop-star Benjamin Clementine, playing at the prestigious North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam, Nos Alive in Lisbon, Mad Cool in Madrid, Northside in Denmark and many others.
In the past years he played and recorded with national and interntional musicians like Rudy Royston, Francesco Bearzatti, Gabriele Mirabassi, Jack Walrath, Chris Fishman, Maurizio Giammarco, Giovanni Falzone, Alessandro Lanzoni and many others; playing in the most important italian festivals like Time In Jazz, Venezia Jazz Festival, Pavia Jazz, Casalini Jazz Nights, Casa del Jazz, Terni Jazz Festival, Nuoro Jazz, Il Jazz Italiano per L'Aquila and more, both as leader of his own band and as side-man.
"Igor Osypov transcends musical boundaries to open up new sonic dimensions. An outstanding composer and virtuoso guitarist, Osypov is also a visionary who knows exactly what he wants to express and where he wants to go with his music. He creates a powerful, emotionally complex world of sound that captivates and moves the listener."
Highly acclaimed guitarist, multi instrumentalist, composer and producer Igor Osypov with his crunchy and distortedly liquid sound has become one of the distinct and impressive voices in jazz as well as indie-rock, hip-hop and fusion. His playing with “blood and guts” brings a “fresh and complete concept” (allaboutjazz.com) to concert stages and clubs all over the world.
“A secret weapon from Ukraine” (Jazz Times), Igor earned his recognition by touring internationally and also recording with some of the greatest artists. Among those are Logan Richardson, Jason Lindner, Eric Harland, Nasheet Waits, Tech N9ne, Joe Sanders, Greg Hutchinson and others. All while developing his own band, and recording his debut (“I”, Unit Records, 2015) and sophomore (“Dream Delivery”, For-Tune, 2016, “No Past Human” Xjazz 2023, “Motherland 2K14” Whirlwind Recordings 2024) albums.
