戴夫·考兹在美国是著名的萨克斯风手，横跨于融合爵士、跨界、成人抒情、 流行 演奏等领域。自从1990年开始，他以个人首张同名专辑 Dave Koz创下大好的销售纪录之后， 戴夫·考兹已经成为Smooth Jazz乐界的代名词，连美国总统柯林顿先生都是他的乐迷！ 这位萨克斯风圣手，在电台以及唱片零售业皆获得全胜The latest contender for the instrumental pop saxophone throne, Dave Koz came out of nowhere after his self-titled 1990 release made it onto the Billboard contemporary jazz charts and stayed there several weeks. He has more fire and intensity in his work than Kenny G, and often sounds like a reworked David Sanborn. Koz also played on Arsenio Halls show, which increased his popularity among the urban contemporary, light jazz, and pop audiences. Koz plays instrumental pop covers, some upbeat tunes, and generally sticks to the fusion production formula: background vocalists, synthesizers, and drum machines, a minimum amount of solo space, and so on. His sessions are available on CD and have been regularly released since his first appearance on the scene. Highlights include 1993s peppy Lucky Man, 1999s collaboration-heavy Dance, 2001s holiday treat A Smooth Jazz Christmas, and 2007s film music-themed At the Movies.
