Dave Koz Plays Concert In Israel, Set For Cruise

Saxophonist Dave Koz performed at a concert for peace in Israel on Monday (October 27th). The Grammy nominee was featured on the lineup for a gala concert titled Believe: Celebrating a Decade of Peacebuilding Activities in honor of the tenth anniversary of the Peres Center in Tel Aviv.

Other performers at the event included American Idol finalist Elliot Yamin, Donna Summer, Argentine singer Mercedes Sosa, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, and others.

Koz will be back in the States this weekend as the host of the annual Dave Koz & Friends At Sea Cruise, which departs Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Sunday (November 2nd). The cruise, which will be crammed with top smooth jazz talent, will sail to Grand Turk in Turks & Caicos, St. Thomas and St. Barth's in the Virgin Islands, and Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas before returning on November 9th.

In other Koz cruise news, the saxophonist plans to join forces with bassist Wayman Tisdale, who hosts the annual Smooth Jazz Cruise, for a mega cruise event in 2010. More details will be forthcoming.
