The latest contender for the instrumental pop saxophone throne, De Koz came out of
nowhere after his self-titled 1990 release made it onto the Billboard contemporary
jazz charts and stayed there several weeks. He has more fire and intensity in his work
than Kenny G, and often sounds like a reworked Did Sanborn. Koz also played on Arsenio
Hall's show, which increased his popularity among the urban contemporary, light jazz,
and pop audiences. Koz plays instrumental pop covers, some upbeat tunes, and generally
sticks to the fusion production formula: background vocalists, synthesizers, and drum
machines, a minimum amount of solo space, and so on. His sessions are ailable on CD
and he been regularly released since his first appearance on the scene. Highlights
include 1993's peppy Lucky Man, 1999's collaboration-hey Dance, 2001's holiday treat
A Smooth Jazz Christmas, and 2007's film music-themed At the Movies.
To say that saxophonist and composer De Koz knows his audience and how the music
business works would be an understatement, and this greatest-hits set is a case in
point. Koz has been wildly successful since the very beginning. Strong evidence is
that he has been with Capitol Records since his 1990 debut album. Another case in
point is that he followed his 2007 best-selling At the Movies collection with a long
tour and three more editions of the album, including the Double Feature CD/DVD set.
Given how many new fans he acquired during that run, it made more sense to offer this
Greatest Hits with some new tracks (for old fans) rather than an entirely new studio set.
Why not interest the newcomers in your back catalog? It's smart business. Koz picked
tracks from five of his studio records for this set and arranged them aesthetically
around new selections rather than chronologically and left the At the Movies album
wholly unrepresented here -- another smart move. As a player he has a very distinct
sound on the horn, and his method sticks somewhat close to a formula -- synthetic and
natural rhythms lay out a well-pronounced beat on the mid- and uptempo numbers as well
as on the ballads. His playing walks closely along a set melodic path, with little to
no improvising. His tone is closest to Did Sanborn's without the edges, leing his
slick, sheeny productions with their soulful elements intact.
All of these cuts are arranged to showcase the strengths in that approach: there are a
pair from both his self-titled debut and his 1993 sophomore set, Lucky Man (including
"Faces of the Heart," his theme from General Hospital); three each from 1999's The Dance
and 2003's Saxophonic; and one from 1996's Off the Beaten Path. Some of the bigger singles
include "Emily," "You Make Me Smile," and "Love Is on the Way" with trumpeter Chris Botti.
Some of Koz's notable all-star vocal collaborations are included as well, such as "Can't
Let You Go (The Sha La Song)" with the late Luther Vandross and "Loves Changes Everything"
with Brian McKnight. Koz's instincts are also keen even on the hits package: "Life in the
Fast Lane" (no relation to the Eagles tune of the same name) was issued as a single. Other
new tunes include the polyrhythmic dance track "Bada Bing" (co-written with Rick Braun and
based on their mutual love of The Sopranos television series), as well as "And Then I Knew,"
produced by Rob Callo of De Matthews Band and Green Day fame. "I Can," with gospel star
BeBe Winans, is a new vocal jam that is likely destined to be licensed by Hollywood as an
inspirational anthem for a transitional scene in a future film. In fact, this collection is
put together so seamlessly and cleverly, look for Koz to score singles with at least two if
not all of the recent cuts. If you first encountered Koz on At the Movies, this collection
will delight you by taking you deeper into his melodic world. If you are a seasoned fan, you
can take comfort in the four previously unreleased tunes while waiting for a new full-length.
