Customer Reviews of Off the Beaten Path
My favorite jazz artist! I've loved Dave Koz since I saw him in perform in Richard Marx's band. I bought his first 2 CDs but when this came out I thought that this was better by far.
I like Dave over other sax artists because he tends to have a more upbeat style while mixing in some mellow tunes. My favorite tracks are "I'm Ready", "That's the Way I Feel About You", which features him on vocals, and "Flat Feet". In fact, with the latter, I can see him having fun with that song. I even e-mailed him about it, asking about why he titled it that and he graciously replied saying he has flat feet, which he inherited from his dad!
Koz - really off the beaten path
I've been a fan of Dave Koz since the first time I heard You Make Me Smile. I was a late comer to this particular CD, purchasing it only after hearing Dave perform "Wake Up Call" at the Berks Jazz Fest last year. In a lot of ways, it's typical Koz, a bright, joyful celebration of music. It's different in style, though, and therein lies the appeal. Koz displays his technical proficiency and surrounds himself with quality musicians, such as Chester Thompson on organ, Kenny Aronoff on percussion and Jeff Koz on guitar. Vocalists include Stevie Nicks, Sir Harry Bowen and Sweet Pea Atkinson (from the group Was (Not Was) (of "Walk the Dinosaur" fame). Stand out tracks include Wake Up Call, Let Me Count the Ways, Flat Feet, and Remembrance.
In summation, this is a fine example of why Dave Koz is one of the best sax men playing today. His mainstream success may not be as great as one of his contemporaries, but he's remained true to the music. A great addition to any collection.
Get ready for something different in jazz
Off the Beaten Path is truly unique and refreshing. Dave Koz goes far beyond what others have done in this genre by combining his trademark sax sound with acoustic guitar, accordion, mandolin, tambourine, and loads of other instruments not normally associated with jazz. Adding the fiddle and marching snare drums in Follow Me Home is an especially nice touch. For me, Dave's new CD The Dance was a major disappointment after hearing Off the Beaten Path. That CD does not have nearly the vibrancy heard here. OTBP has become my favorite Dave Koz CD....which was a major feat...Lucky Man is still a must-have for any smooth jazz collection. My favorite cuts are: Don't Look Back, Wake Up Call, Follow Me Home, Flat Feet, Leave the Light On, Under the Spell of the Moon and My Back Porch.
