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

    by PJ on 8/14/25The Factory - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5

    Dave Koz is the best! Always puts on a first class show!!!

  • Wow - all the way around!

    by Karen S on 8/13/25The Factory - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5

    What a performance! This wasn’t just a concert it was a true show! Music was phenomenal, the talent was unbelievable. And all those lovely horns all perfectly in sync was just great. Then they added humor and choreography as well. Certainly a full plate event, couldn’t have asked for a better evening. And that venue- they thought of everything. Comfortable, accessible seating, several bar and restroom locations and the acoustics could. Ithave been better. And lastly, easy to get in and out of parking- which you never hear these days. Wonderful. Well worth the investment, can’t wait to go back.

  • Great Concert, high energy, best musicians

    by GW on 8/13/25Lexington Opera House - LexingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    What a great group of musicians. They obviusly enjoy music, playing together and bringing a high quality entertaining evening to their audience. Drove from Nashville to Lexington to see this great show. I hope they come to Nashville. I would definitely see them again

  • Incredible evening of high energy jazz!

    by Thom on 8/13/25The Factory - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5

    I knew I’d enjoy Dave Koz but throw in the Summer Horns and it was an indescribable, high energy and unforgettable concert! So much talent on the stage at one time, I don’t think I’ve seen a better live performance. The audio system and venue were also excellent! It was nothing less than a perfect evening of incredible music.

  • Fantastic

    by Jed on 8/13/25The Factory - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5

    The only thing that would make it better would be a longer set for Peter White.

  • Fantastic musical experience

    by Roselynlk on 8/13/25The Factory - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5

    This concert was just phenomenal! From the surprise guest of Peter White to start the show to Dave Koz’s Summer Horns, it was just the best!! I was happy to attend but this concert far exceeded my expectations of excellence!! Dave Koz and his team definitely know how to throw a party, from his cruises to his concerts!! I’ve been encouraging others in other cities to definitely attend!!

  • OMG!

    by KI on 8/13/25The Factory - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5

  • The performance was amazing!

    by Rams Girl on 8/13/25The Factory - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5

    We didn't know what to expect before the concert, but we were pleasing surprised to hear Peter White and his band. Then to make it even more amazing, the Dave Koz and friends performance was off the chart! My husband was so impressed with the high energy of everyone in the band. It was a night to remember. The music was old school which made it so much fun! At the end of the concert, they played all of my favorite music and I danced so much until I burned over 500 calories, LOL. The venue "The Factory"in Chesterfield, Mo was great. Not a bad seat in the house! I'm so glad we decided to go to the concert. What a way to start off the week! Thank you Dave Koz and friends and The Factory for such a wonderful concert. I look forward to next year.

  • Great time! Fun, upbeat, Amazing!

    by Amazing! on 8/13/25The Factory - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5

  • Great show

    by Sam on 8/13/25The Factory - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5

    by Jones Walker on 8/13/25The Factory - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5

  • Absolutely Amazing!!!

    by Jill Loftin on 8/13/25The Factory - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Performance! The Dave Koz concert was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment he stepped on stage, the energy, warmth, and sheer talent were undeniable. His mastery of the saxophone is unmatched, blending smooth jazz with vibrant, soulful melodies that had the entire audience captivated. Every song was performed with passion and precision, and his connection with the crowd made it feel intimate and personal, no matter where you were seated. The band was phenomenal, the sound was crisp, and the atmosphere was pure joy. This wasn’t just a concert, it was an unforgettable experience filled with music, laughter, and emotion. Dave Koz truly proves why he’s one of the best in the business!

  • Wonderful

    by All In on 8/13/25The Factory - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5

    The concert was fantastic from beginning to end. The venue "The Factory"in Chesterfield is the BEST! A wonderful Sunday evening. Now let's talk about the Ticketmaster e ticket situation. Not good. I had to go to the box office for assistance. The line for the box office was longer than I've ever seen. This is the first time I had technical difficulties trying to retrieve my tickets. The staff immediately provided tickets and we were in. This should not have been a stressful experience.

  • BEST HIGH ENERGY CONCERT EVER!!!!

    by Leo P on 8/11/25Lexington Opera House - LexingtonRating: 5 out of 5

  • On your feet performance

    by Italia on 8/11/25Lexington Opera House - LexingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    Long time fan of Dave Koz, however, first time to seem him live in concert. An on your feet performance! Dave Koz gives 110% to his audience. Outstanding concert! His Summer Horns group were fantastic! When I said "On your feet performance"you are literally on your feet for most of the concert! Can not say enough about how awesome the music, the atmosphere, and the performance was. If you get a chance to see Dave Koz in person, do not miss this opportunity. He does not disappoint!!
