Summer Horns II: From A To Z (CD)
Dave Koz
Amoeba Review
Dave Koz returns to his Summer Horns project with Summer Horns II: From A To Z, recreating classic songs that contain strong horn sections. Rejoined by alto saxophonist Gerald Albright and tenor saxophonist Richard Elliot, the album honors Earth, Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson, Paul Simon, KC and the Sunshine Band, Stevie Wonder, and many more. Transforming some tracks into medleys, and others into duets, adding South African flavors and even merging Billy Strayhorn's “Take The A Train” with Jay-Z's “Roc Boys (And the Winner Is)," the musicians' delight in these tracks is as palpable as their talents.
