Dave Koz (born David Kozlowski, March 27, 1963) is an American jazz saxophonist and radio host.
Koz often draws comparisons to another well-known saxophonist, David Sanborn. Because the two sound almost alike, Koz is sometimes billed as the second coming of Sanborn.
Koz graduated from UCLA with a degree in mass communications in 1986 and started into his musical career almost immediately afterwards playing for crooner Bobby Caldwell. For the rest of the 1980s, Koz served as a session musician in several bands, toured with artists such as Richard Marx, and played in the house band on Arsenio Hall’s late-night talk show.
In 1990, Koz decided to pursue a solo career. The move proved to be successful, and his self-titled album earned high praise from critics and fans alike. His later albums include Lucky Man, The Dance, and Saxophonic. Saxophonic was nominated for both a Grammy and an NAACP Image Award.
In 1994, Koz began hosting a syndicated radio program, “The Dave Koz Radio Show” (formerly “Personal Notes”), featuring the latest music and interviews with who’s who in the genre. He is currently co-host of the morning show on 94.7 The Wave, a smooth jazz station in Los Angeles.
In 2002, Koz started a record label, Rendezvous Entertainment, with Frank Cody and Hyman Katz. One of the first albums from that label was Golden Slumbers: A Father’s Lullaby, which came at the time his brother Jeff became a father for the first time.
Koz also performed “Faces of the Heart”, which served as the theme song on the ABC hit soap General Hospital from 1993 to 2004.

Wir fänden es schade, wenn das Tag-Radio auf taube Ohren stoßen würde. Wir hoffen, dass du noch da bist, aber falls du weggegangen bist, einen langen Telefonanruf erhalten hast, oder von einem Bär aufgefuttert worden bist, haben wir dein Radio angehalten, bis du wieder zurück bist. Möchtest du ein Premium-Radioerlebnis? Abonniere Last.fm und du wirst keine Werbung sehen, und wirst zudem deine eigenen Lieblingslieder- und persönlichen Tag-Stationen erhalten. Das ist der grüßte Scheißdreck den ich je gelesen habe!!!!!!
