戴夫·考茲在美國是著名的薩克斯風手，橫跨于融合爵士、跨界、成人抒情、 流行 演奏等領域。自從1990年開始，他以個人首張同名專輯 Dave Koz創下大好的銷售紀錄之后， 戴夫·考茲已經成為Smooth Jazz樂界的代名詞，連美國總統柯林頓先生都是他的樂迷！ 這位薩克斯風圣手，在電臺以及唱片零售業皆獲得全勝 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.
