Sylvain Luc

Sylvain Luc (born 1965) is a jazz guitarist born in Bayonne, in the French Basque Country.

He studied violin and cello while also studying classical guitar at the Bayonne conservatory. He has played since his youth, through family training and rapidly acquiring experience with his own groups.

He lives in Paris and has become an arranger, composer and accompanyist to many different French artists, including Georges Moustaki, Philippe Léotard, Romain Didier, Catherine Lara and Michel Jonasz, all while being the bassist for the Richard Galliano trio.
