Dave Koz’s forthcoming album, A New Day, was conceived and recorded entirely under the umbrella of COVID-19. Always one to see the silver lining in a situation, Koz quickly rose to the challenge of rolling out the album in a completely new manner – culminating with a virtual record release party on October 9. The special livestream event will find three of his quarantine collaborators, joining in the festivities via Zoom: Dave’s all-time saxophone hero, David Sanborn, who collaborated with him on “Side By Side,” which was the #1 Most Added song in its first week at Smooth Jazz radio, Brian McKnight, who contributes vocals to the soulful leadoff track “Summertime in NYC” and the legendary Bob James, who plays piano on “Long Goodbyes.”
Performing in a Southern California studio, Koz will play a mixture of new songs and previous hits, backed by band mates Adam Hawley (guitar), Carnell Harrell (keyboards) and Arthur Thompson (percussion). Dave will field fan questions and premiere a brand new video. Other highlights include Pat Prescott’s interview with Koz.
