 DAVE KOZ
Sunday Mornings, 7am-9am
Born and raised in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley, Koz initially picked up the saxophone as a means of gaining entry into his big brother's band. But what began as a ploy became a lifelong obsession. Now, with Saxophonic, Koz has created the most adventurous and sax-intensive recording of his career -- a scintillating fusion of R&B, funk, jazz and pop, with well-conceived detours into hip hop instrumentalism, bebop, electronica and African folk. Additionally, the saxophonist hosts a weekly syndicated radio show heard Sunday Mornings 8-10 on WBAZ, The Dave Koz Radio Show, that features artist interviews and music.
