Smooth jazz saxophonist Dave Koz is nothing short of a seasoned artist. The California native and nine-time GRAMMY nominee recently released The 25th Of December, an album of holiday duets. Koz has become well known for his even melodies with uplifting tones; the passion for jazz easily translates through his musical performances. The 17th annual Dave Koz & Friends Christmas tour will appear at Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown on Dec. 5 and Best Buy Theater in NYC on Dec. 7.
