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.

One of the best performances I have seen. I drove from Chicago to Detroit to attend the show and it was worth it
The show was outstanding, I enjoyed every minute. The musicians were excellent and all had great energy.The music was right on. One of the best performances I have been to, I will definitely go again to see Dave Koz
Absolutely fabulous show!!! Every musician was a top rated musician!!!!
Very nice show, just love Dave Koz's voice and him play his sax......................
WOW what a show. Loved how Dave came out at the start of the concert and Thanked us all for coming. Dave is funny and not stand offish. Truthfully never listened to Dave before but we have enjoyed concerts by Eric Darius and Boney James so I said why not. I know my husband is not into Christmas music and I didn't tell him it was a Christmas show but he saw the sign on the way in. He was like ugh, when he walked out he said he thinks that was the best concert he has seen and we have seen a lot. Kudos
Second year attending this show definitely will see next year awesome entertainers and lighting loved the show Dave Coz you are the best scottish rite collingswood nj
Spectacular entertainer!! Loved it!!! Would definitely see him again when he comes back to this area!
The show far exceeded my expectations. Although I had previously seen all of these consummate musicians, individually, I was apprehensive about them working together on one stage at the same time. Thankfully, my concerns proved unfounded as they played together beautifully and with tremendous, precise energy. It was amazing to experience them fill the auditorium with jazzed-up versions of timeless Christmas favorites. They frequently interacted with the audience which added an unmistakable personal feel to the show. Not too surprisingly, and were repaid with raucous applause and cheers song after song after.... All in all, it was arguably one of the best live shows I have ever attended.
The original four musicians plus the others were positively outstanding. My favorite was and always will be Rick Braun. My wife really liked David Benoit.
Don’t miss this show if in your town! You will not be disappointed!
Been going to Dave Koz Christmas shows the last five years hope to continue for many more
This is my second year attending Dave Koz’s Holiday show. I always leave in good spirt.
I was so impressed with the entire show that I had tears in my eyes many times. This was amazing and by far one of the best shows that Dave Koz and friends has given. We just loved this show and felt very blessed to be a part of it!
This was the 2nd Dave Koz Christmas Show I attended, both at the Scottish Rite Auditorium. This time around Dave brought fellow musicians David Benoit, Rick Braun, and Peter White. I somehow scored 1st row center seats and our experience was magical! Dave is so entertaining and the camaraderie and love amongst the group made it all so special. These talented musicians put together a show unsurpassed by any others, playing old and new Christmas favorites along with songs in each musician's repertoire. I can't stop listening to their new Christmas CD, of which we instantly bought 3. Dav Koz is a must see. My only regret is having to wait another year until he's hopefully back in town again..
This is our second year, and we are already excited for next year!!!
I and my lovely wife were VIP. Front stage. From beginning to end the whole experience for us and the entire audience was awesome, and very entertaining. Dave Koz and his group of great and well known Jazz artists played their hearts out. If they return again I will be there front and center. A show you will always remember and recommend
What an amazing concert....all the musicians on their own where incredible. Put them together and WOW. Dave Koz is an excellent showman.
The energy, the talent, the interaction between all performers was extraordinary. After attending many of their past concerts, this concert was one of their best. David Koz lead the group and interacted with the audience and truly enjoyed the evening along with the many guests who spent their evening with them. Thank you for making this concert available to the many Long Island fans who support Smooth Jazz!!!
Must see show! Highly musical, very entertaining, incredible musicians, and Dave is nothing but a treasure. We are very lucky to have such class musicians that Perform with passion and amazing musicianship. I will definitely go see Dave Koz again.
Best concert I have seen in a long time. Everyone was great. Love David Benoit, Peter White, Dave Koz, and Rick Braun! Nice that they still call it the Christmas concert, (not just a holiday concert) Great choice of music. Didn't want it to end!
