Sylvain Luc est un guitariste de jazz né a Bayonne en 1965.
Il a effectué des études de violon, violoncelle au conservatoire de Bayonne tout en étudiant aussi la guitare classique. Il joue très jeune dans une formation familiale et acquiert rapidement une expérience de la scène avec ses propres groupes.
Il s'installe à Paris et devient arrangeur, compositeur et accompagnateur de nombreux artistes de variété (Georges Moustaki, Philippe Léotard, Romain Didier, Catherine Lara, Michel Jonasz...) tout en conservant un pied dans le jazz en étant le bassiste du trio de Richard Galliano.
Il a fondé en 1999 la formation Trio Sud en compagnie de André Ceccarelli et de Jean Marc Jafet.
Depuis 2006 on le retrouve régulièrement dans la formation "String quartet", aux côtés de Didier Lockwood, Victor Bailey et Billy Cobham.
Sylvain Luc comes from Bayonne. Surrounded by the inspiring atmosphere of his eagerly music practising brothers, he chooses the guitar as his instrument at the age of 5. He is 9 when he enters the conservatoire and starts recording his first album of Basque folklore "Elgarrekin" together with his brothers. In the Luc family they remember with tenderness the year when he made his stage debut as Joe Dassin with a local group.
His preference for the strings is not limited to the guitar alone; by exploring the classical richness (with Jorge Cardoso), he learns to appreciate the mandolin, the violin and studies the cello for 10 years. At the age of 12 he joins the group of his brother Gerard, accordionist, and makes his second "family record", "Olinakarin". In the early 80's, when he is 15, he discovers jazz and starts his first group "Bulle Quintet". 1982 he gets an award at the Festival international de San Sebastian.
