Sylvain Luc (7 April 1965 – 13 March 2024) was a French jazz guitarist.[1][2][3]

Luc toured regularly but rarely appeared in high-profile jazz festivals. He was particularly attracted to duets, but was also seen in trios (his own, plus Trio Sud, and on tour in 2009 with Steve Gadd and Richard Bona) and rarely with larger groups. His best-known works are the two duet albums with Biréli Lagrène, with whom he toured many times.[4]
