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:

"Dave & company always puts on a great show. Dave's performances always leaves a smile on my face."

    by JacquelineATL on 6/26/18Wolf Creek Amphitheater - AtlantaRating: 4 out of 5

    Dave NEVER disappoints! He, Gerald Albright, Richard Elliot and Rick Braun gave Wolf Creek Amphitheater the night of a lifetime. So glad to have the opportunity to see such talent when they make their way to Atlanta.

  • Dave Koz and Pieces of a dream

    The show was unbelievably entertaining! I just loved it.

  • Summer Horns are Hot

    by Smithiet on 6/26/18Wolf Creek Amphitheater - AtlantaRating: 5 out of 5

    The venue, the MC, Pieces of a Dream and Dave Koz’ summer horns were excellent. Easy entrance into the facility, great restroom locations, and very nice security staff. The nicest I’ve ever seen. Love taking my own food for a change too. Wonderful evening with great music and people. Love the grown and sexy jazz crowd.

  • Summer Horns were great!

    by Anonymous on 6/26/18Wolf Creek Amphitheater - AtlantaRating: 5 out of 5

    Dave and the crew really put on a great show. So amazing to listen to a group of jazz hall of famers on the stage at the same time. Truly magical. I so love the new album.

  • Awesome Concert

    by MJacan on 6/26/18Wolf Creek Amphitheater - AtlantaRating: 4 out of 5

    The concert was fabulous, entertaining and show stopping. The tickets were part of a wedding anniversary gift and my husband thoroughly enjoyed himself. He especially loved "Pieces of a Dream" the opening act. Dave Koz, and all the other performers gave 100% and the crowd loved every minute.

  • Dave and the band were WonderFul

    by vacagal on 1/4/18City National Civic - San JoseRating: 5 out of 5

    What a beautiful venue for such a festive holiday performance. Dave Koz puts on quite a show. What I love most about it (other than the Christmas music) is that he engages with the audience and the band throughout the show. We had a marvelous time and I recommend this experience to everyone.

  • Exceptional Performance

    by Anonymous on 1/2/18City National Civic - San JoseRating: 5 out of 5

    The Dave Koz 20th Anniversary Christmas Tour was outstanding in all aspects!

  • Great show!

    by salbil on 1/2/18Palace Theatre Columbus - ColumbusRating: 5 out of 5

    This was one of Dave Koz's best Christmas shows ever! Every performer was fantastic! Great show!

  • Dave Koz Holiday Show was EXCELLENT

    by mmmyanas on 12/30/17Scottish Rite Auditorium - CollingswoodRating: 5 out of 5

    Aside from a perfect venue, the performers went beyond my expectations and put on a wonderful show. The time of the event was perfect and the sound was excellent. Hope to see them again next year.

  • What a lovely Christmas Concert!

    by Stretch4 on 12/27/17City National Civic - San JoseRating: 5 out of 5

    With Dave Koz, Peter White, David Benoit and Rick Braun, it's hard to say anything but wow and wonderful!! These guys are entertaining, fun, great musicians and creative! I love how they put their own rendition on good ol' Christmas songs. They also took turns playing some of their own non-Christmas music, which was a great plus!! I'm surprised I haven't heard more about this concert, given it's their 20th anniversary. But I'm so happy to have experienced this amazing Christmas concert and will be seeing this again next year. Anyone that enjoys their music, will love this annual concert! Thanks gentlemen for sharing your talent and giving such a wonderful concert! Happy Holidays!

  • Another great Koz Christmas show!

    by jazzyjwag on 12/26/17City National Civic - San JoseRating: 4 out of 5

    This was our third Dave Koz Christmas show and, as usual, it was not notch entertainment. This one, being the 20th anniversary tour, featured three other musicians who are among are favorites: Rick Braun, Peter White and David Benoit. So it was a can't miss show for us. Excellent presentation of a mixture of Christmas songs and their individual hits. Would have preferred fewer hits and more Christmas, but that's being a little picky. Only 4 out of 5 because the venue isn't the most comfortable of theaters. The seating is a bit tight, as it was originally used as a college sports facility and the seating designed for college size kids. But it is convenient.

  • Another Amazing Koz Christmas Show!

    by RayLH on 12/26/17City National Civic - San JoseRating: 5 out of 5

    This is a must event every year. Incredible musicians and vocals. Always a fantastic line up and Selina Albright was delight! Very positive and uplifting show. Everyone leaves the show with a big smile! Great way to celebrate the season with friends and family. Don't miss next year!

  • One of the Best Shows

    by Pgremlin on 12/24/17City National Civic - San JoseRating: 4 out of 5

    This was one of the best shows I’ve seen & a really good Xmas show!

  • Wonderful Evening!

    by CAJazzLover on 12/24/17City National Civic - San JoseRating: 4 out of 5

    I can sum up this concert in two words: Pure Joy! Was fun to be there with my two daughters (who were also with us for Dave Koz and Friends #1) and see the original gang back on stage. High energy, humor and terrific music!
