Conceived and recorded entirely under the umbrella of COVID-19, A New Day is a deeply comforting yet forward-thinking 11-track collection (with one bonus track on the physical CD. A New Day features collaborations with David Sanborn on "Side by Side", Brian McKnight and Earth, Wind & Fire percussionist Ralph Johnson (on "Summertime in NYC"), Bob James, Marc Antoine, Meshell Ndegeocello (playing bass on the album's only cover song, the Beatles' "Yesterday"), Paul Jackson, Jr., Jeff Lorber, David Mann, Antwaun Stanley (of funk band Vulfpeck), Philippe Saisse and Chris "Big Dog" Davis.
Summer Horns is the first studio album from Dave Koz since 2010's Hello Tomorrow. That said, it's not solely billed to him. The "and Friends" on the bill refers to three other contemporary jazz saxophonists: Gerald Albright, Mindi Abair, and Richard Elliot. Produced by Paul Brown, this is a big up-front horn section record, full of jazz, funk, and R&B covers, alternately by Greg Adams, Tom Scott, Gordon Goodwin, and Albright. The four-sax line is augmented by brass in various places, too. While Brown's production sound stays within the genre of contemporary jazz – it's both clean and bright – the feel is all groove.
With four highly successful holiday albums and 17 consecutive years of the Dave Koz and Friends Christmas tour, Dave Koz returns to celebrate the holiday season with the release of The 25th of December. Dave is joined by a who's who of acclaimed musicians to bring the heart and soul back into the Christmas season.
