About

DAVE KOZ IN CONCERT:

When Dave Koz takes the stage, all is quiet as the audience intently listens to every pure note from the seasoned saxophonist. Playing both tenor and alto sax, his fingers glide across the instrument with an ease that can't be matched. Whether he's performing chart-topping hits like "Life In the Fast Lane" and "Put the Top Down" or launching into an epic solo, Koz's grace on the woodwind instrument is exceptional, full of trills, thrills, and spontaneity during his hit-filled set lists. Dave Koz returns to the stage in 2014 for his upcoming Summer Horns tour as well as a string of highly anticipated shows with Barry Manilow.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Starting out in his high school's jazz band, Dave Koz fell in love with the saxophone early on, deciding to pursue music full time after graduating from college. He landed on tour with Bobby Caldwell not long after and served as a studio musician in the '80s before launching his breakout solo career. Since then, Koz has released 15 studio albums — eight of which have reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Jazz chart — and four No. 1 jazz singles. Not only is the nine-time Grammy nominee a sensational saxophonist, but he's also a radio personality, television host, and philanthropist, serving as a Global Ambassador for the Starlight Children's Foundation. Koz will delight fans with his smooth jazz sounds on his upcoming tour dates.

  • Dave Koz 12/12/2023 El Paso, TX

    by Tanya D. on 12/15/23Abraham Chavez Theatre - El PasoRating: 5 out of 5

    This artist is fantastic. I’ve been a fan of his since he first started playing Smooth Jazz on the radio! This is my Birthday/ Christmas present every year! The show continually gets better each year!!! This show has been my favorite,so far. He brings Jonathan Butler, his brother-in-music, and other artists. The other multi-talented musicians/artists will blow your mind!!! This is the one show you should not miss!! SPECTACULAR!

  • A little disappointed

    by Carlos on 12/15/23Abraham Chavez Theatre - El PasoRating: 3 out of 5

    I love the Christmas show of Dave Koz and specially Jonathan Butler’s participation. I have been faithfully attended the shows for years. I am a little disappointed this time because I considered the show to repetitive of previous years without any new components, song, or even a new decoration of rhe stage. I really recommend to them to do something new next time or they will lose the interest of faithful fans like me.

  • Great show!!

    by Cincy on 10/19/23Ludlow Garage Cincinnati - CincinnatiRating: 5 out of 5

    Really enjoyed the show! Great venue could see and hear awesome!

  • A Fabulous Show!!!

    by Danny O on 10/16/23Ludlow Garage Cincinnati - CincinnatiRating: 5 out of 5

    We attend several great shows per year. This was by far one of the best. Dave Koz is a superstar!!! His band members were ALL the best in the business. Don’t miss this show whenever it’s in your area. I saw the show at the Ludlow Garage in Cincinnati. It’s an intimate setting and offers a unique experience to see internationally known performers up close. My wife and I felt fortunate to be there.

  • Singing @ the concert l wasn’t ready for it

    by Jimm on 10/16/23Ludlow Garage Cincinnati - CincinnatiRating: 2 out of 5

    Disappointed some what he didn’t sing jazz and the selection sort of took away from the music vibes to me so I left early .To me it was about Koz doing what made him a top saxophone player.
