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.

We have seen Dave Koz and Brian Culbertson many times in Chicago. Not only are they great musicians, but they are great showmen. Together they put on one of the best shows anyone will ever see!!!
Well the title says it all-it was a great concert from beginning to end. The musicians were all fantastic, such accomplished artists. Will definately go to the Venue again and have been seeing Dave Koz for many years now.
One of the best outdoor concerts I've been to in years! Brian Culbertson was superb, as was the Koz. Great array of songs from over the years. Brian, please "bring back the funk" to Minnesota next year at the Zoo!!! Love you guys....
I always enjoy the WNUA concerts but this was my #2 best concert experience. . . EVER!
Dave Koz and Brian Culbertson were fabulous....their music complemented each other so well, and it was great to see two jazz muscians having fun together, which made the concert so amazing!!
The show was nice. Dave Koz and Brian Culbertson were awesome together. I really enjoyed myself. Im looking forward to seeing Dave again.
That was one of the best concerts I've ever attended. Both Dave and Brian are such talented musiciians in their own right,together simply amazing. Their music meshed, and they had a good time on stage. Great band with them. I love the zoo setting for a concert:can't beat an outside concert on a summer night.
Wow, what a night at the zoo. Could not ask for a better concert.
Dave Koz and Brian Culbertson put on an energetic performance from start to finish. The shared stage with their super band were all featured with no one being left out. The weather was perfect just as the music was perfect. It made for a wonderful evening of music
This was the third year that we went to see Dave Koz and friends at the Zoo. Dave put on a great show, always makes you feel that he is playing just for you. I was also very impressed with Brian Culbertson, this is the first time I've seen him live. The only negative about the concert was that it was too loud, it seemed that the bass, drums, and keyboards were boosted in volume and at times they overpowered Dave and Brian, I think the person running the mixing board could have done a much better job.
This was the best i really enjoyed the show hope to see them both again soon
For a small group of performers, they put on a hugh show. The music was wonderful and the two artists gave excellent performances. Even the back up crew gave it their all and then some. Too bad the show couldn't have lasted longer!!!
There is nothing better than great music outside. This was my first concert at the Zoo. What a great intimate setting to hear two fantastic jazz musicians. Althought their music styles are different they complement each so well. I definitely would do a repeat next year and am already looking forward to it!
This combination of artists has been and always is an AWESOME act to see. I have seen them in other locations( Captial Jazzfest-Maryland, Cincinnati-special Christmas show with Patty Austin and previous Fraze performances) and I am amazed at their ability to project such music(individually and jointly) and the crowds truely loved having them at the Fraze. I told a lot of friends about this upcoming show once I got my email from the Fraze. They all agreed this was the best show to kick start their summer. We all want MORE........
This band continues to get better! What a show! Brian and Dave had such great chemistry and created and delivered a show of high entertainment. The Zoo venue is incredible, not a bad seat in the house, acoustics are wonderful. Bill "Rubber-hand Man" Sharpe and Randy Jacobs were the carry-overs from previous shows and both continue to delight the audience with their talent and showmanship. Adding Chris at drums was really good. Chris has also been seen in the twin cities with Nick Colione and Four 80 East. The keyboard player was also good.
What a fun concert! It was probably the best concert I've ever attended in terms of energy, fun and incredible music.
Dave Koz has an affinity for the Twin Cities and the Mn zoo. He has close ties to a local family and is proud of this. His playing and feeling is true. He makes the crowd a part of music. Brian is a very talented musician and showman - just like Dave. He wasn't just going through the motions. He enjoyed being at the zoo. Like Dave said " when you see the zoo you will understand". Hope they come back next year.
This was a wonderful and energetic concert and every musician on stage was very talented and cool. It was obvious that the band was having a great time as well as the audience.
This was an incredible concert. The cohesiveness of these two was incredible, and typically you don't see that with artists that pair up like this. They meshed well and both are masters at what they do. I love Koz on the sax, man...he is AWESOME. I could listen to that all day....
My husband & I are huge jazz fans, and this concert was the best one that we have been too. The music was awesome, the band was terrific, they totally played off of each other. It was so entertaining & fun! We went with 2 other couples who have never seen Brian Culbertson & they were just amazed, the two really complemented each other. We didnt want it to end!!!!
