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.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

  • Classy night!

    by Anonymous on 8/7/18Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center - DallasRating: 4 out of 5

    The venue was a good pick. The concert & location brought out people of all colors and ages- it was good to be surrounded by this considering the current times in America. However, from tier18, it was really hard to hear the performers speaking voice on the microphone while music was playing! Maybe the acoustics or position of the speakers can be considered in this moving forward. It was not until the end of the show that I caught the name of one artists performing! If the music was playing and the artist wanted to ask the crowd, "how yall doing! This song is..." it was very muffled and almost muted!

  • Dave Koz and Friends were fantastic

    WOW! I love saxophones and horns so I got tix for this never previously seeing Dave Koz. We love Cain Park and it always feels magical and special when we go to a concert there. Dave Koz and the 'crew' are wonderful show'men' and kept us dancing. ALL of the musicians were so incredibly talented that I became a fan that night.

    by PBBC3 on 7/25/18Cain Park - Cleveland HeightsRating: 5 out of 5

    I've been to many Dave Koz concerts, and I must say that the Koz Christmas show I attended with Chris Botti, and this last one with his friends at Cain Park, were the absolute best! If you haven't been to one of his shows yet, you Must treat yourself! Dave Koz is an exceptional Artist and an Extraordinary Showman!

  • Dave Koz & Friends DO IT AGAIN

    by JAS5446 on 7/24/18Cain Park - Cleveland HeightsRating: 5 out of 5

    Dave Koz, Richard Elliot, Gerald Albright, Rick Braun, Aubrey Logan, Adam Hawley, I'm sorry I didn't hear the drummer, base and keyboard names. All were fabulous! The group came out one by one and began to play...there wasn't a moment that great music wasn't played. The first half all were dressed in white and the second half in black.Who doesn't know Rick Braun gets your attention...I came to see and hear Richard Elliot...and I went home amazed at Gerald Albright and Dave Koz.. All entertainers in their own right. Adam Hawley (very handsome!) played a song from his album DOUBLE VISION...again...amazing! I cheated...I've seen Aubrey Logan on U Tube and I think she is fabulous...love her tone quality and vocal range...(sorry I have to say it) YOU GO GIRL!!!!! This little girl comes out with this big trombone and I think...yeah right...she keeps up with the best! All limber and comfortable with her entire being...4 cartwheels in a row!!! Very talented...I'm watching. The entire group offered great singing, dancing and playing. DO IT AGAIN. I bought all the cd's available, Richard Elliot sold out at the previous concert. Glad I purchased my copy weeks earlier! Mr. Drummer, Mr. Base player and Mr. Keyboard... I'm really sorry I missed your names. THANK YOU ALL for a fabulous night. I needed that, good medicine. Oh, and I'm the nut that got up and danced...Thank you Thank you Thank you Looking forward to your next visit. JAS

  • Amazing Night

    by KJJazz on 7/24/18Cain Park - Cleveland HeightsRating: 4 out of 5

    Dave Koz always brings great energy to anything he does! There aren't enough great words for how awesome this concert was. The venue was great, food was good, the sound system worked wonderful, and the seating as perfect. My only complaint is there's no parking but it does help that they will shuttle you down from the top

  • Great Night!!!
