Co-Headline Run Kicks Off July 30
Today, Dave Koz and David Sanborn announced their first-ever tour together. The two saxophone greats will share the stage, backed by a stellar band. The co-headline “Side By Side” run will kick off on July 30 in Temecula, CA at Thornton Winery and include shows in Healdsburg, CA (August 13 at Rodney Strong Winery), Westbury, NY (August 25 at the Theatre at Westbury) and Montclair, NJ (August 26 at the Wellmont Theatre). The pair will also perform at the Long Beach Jazz Festival, Cancun Jazz Fest 2016 and other festivals.
“David Sanborn is my No. 1 sax idol. I prayed this would happen for many years!” says Dave Koz. “I grew up listening to and worshipping this guy. He is the one who took the saxophone from more of a traditional jazz idiom and brought it into a more pop idiom. It’s an incredible honor to be performing side by side with him.”
“Dave and I have been talking for years of doing something like this, and now it’s finally happening,” says David Sanborn. “I’m really looking forward to coming up with new and exciting takes on songs from each of our catalogs and playing for our collective fans.”
