Dave Koz Presents Online 'Webisodes' About "At The Movies"

Saxophonist Dave Koz is producing a series of ongoing online documentaries, or "webisodes," about his hit album At The Movies. Webisode number five is now available on his website davekoz.com, and focuses on Koz interviewing the widow and daughter of the late composer Henry Mancini.

Mancini composed "Moon River," the theme to Breakfast At Tiffany's, which Koz recorded for At The Movies with guest vocalist Barry Manilow. He also recorded Mancini's Pink Panther theme for the album.

In order to view the new webisode, fans must sign up for the Join The Koz fan club through his website. Previous webisodes, featuring Koz interacting with Anita Baker, Vanessa Williams, and more, are viewable by members and non-members alike.

At The Movies has spawned a hit with Koz's cover of "It Might Be You" from the Dustin Hoffman comedy Tootsie. An instrumental version has gone to smooth jazz; another version features Grammy winner India.Arie.

India Arie told us about covering the track, plus about working with producer Phil Ramone on her own new album: "I also did a duet with Dave Koz where I did that song from that movie, was it Tootsie? (Sings) 'Something's telling me it might be you...'Is that Tootsie? I forgot. Yes, I did that with Dave Koz, produced by Phil Ramone. Phil Ramone's favorite song on my album is 'Good Morning."

Other guests on the album include Barry Manilow, Johnny Mathis, Anita Baker, Vanessa Williams, Chris Botti, and Donna Summer. The set was produced by Phil Ramone.

The Dave Koz & Friends At The Movies summer tour kicks off in June. For dates, visit davekoz.com
