Smooth Summer Jazz Dave Koz & Friends Summer Horns

Dave Koz

Every year, we invite a few of our favorite laidback, chilled-out artists to stop by the Bowl for a breezy night of sounds from the worlds of jazz, funk, R&B, and more. The 2025 edition features the return of longtime Smooth Summer Jazz standout Dave Koz and his group Summer Horns. He’s received nine Grammy nominations, racked up 12 No. 1 albums on Billboard’s Current Contemporary Jazz Albums chart, gotten a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and played for presidents. Even with all those accolades, his style is approachable and relaxed; seeing him at the Bowl is like spending an afternoon barbecuing with your most brilliant friend.
