Dave Koz's and Friends 25th Anniversary Christmas Tour came to town at the Luther Burbank Theater in Santa Rosa. There was no pouting, no crying, I'm telling you why - The packed auditorium here was filled with good cheer. The audience came decked out to the hilt, some came bearing ugly Christmas sweaters. Ohers looked finer in glitter and silk. Dave dressed divinely in jazzy refinery. And to the show he brought his best his favorite friends; Peter White on acoustic guitar and Rick Braun on horn. He also gifted us with the divas of jazz. Rebecca Jade singer and guitar player was amazing. Jade called out her basketball coach she played for at UC-Berkely and bade her good tidings. Keiko Matsui, pianist virtuoso, tinkled the ivories with flourish and gusto. Anyone getting my riff? The show was holiday gift providing smiles and and spirits a lift. What could go wrong with your favorite holiday song tied up in a rhythm jazz? Rien, my friend. Unless you're a Scrooge or a Grinch or a zombie. It was you a mremorable evening of music and song. I'll stop now so this won't get too long. After 25 years, Koz still puts on the ritz with his sax and his glitz. The price of the show is not just for the rich. I could've listened all night. I want to give a review that's just right....Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
