Dave Koz (born David Kozlowski) is a jazz saxophonist and radio host.
During the 1980s, Koz served as a session musician in several bands, and he played in the 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.
In 1995, Koz entered another medium: radio. He hosted his own show on The Wave, a smooth jazz station in Los Angeles, and he later cut a syndication deal to host another show. The Dave Koz Show can be heard nationwide, and it is sort of a countdown show for jazz fans.
In 2002, Koz started a record label, Rendezvous Entertainment. 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 performs 'Faces of the Heart', which is the current theme song on the ABC hit soap General Hospital.
