Dave Koz with the Denmark Street Big Band.
Six-times Grammy-nominated sax player Dave Koz has been on tour in the UK and sat in with the Denmark Street Big Band while he was in London.
Dave sat in on the Lead Alto chair with his trusty silver Yamaha 62 alto sax and played a variety songs including classic Count Basie and Sammy Nestico charts with the band. We also played a few big band arrangements of songs that Dave recorded on his hit album "At The Movies" including Moon River and Over The Rainbow. The band were honoured to have this amazing musician come and play with us and to see him play with a big band was a very rare treat.

How it all started....
Paul Burch has put together a big band that creates the same kind of energy, excitement and style of the greatest big band of the past era. Born of the love of Big Band jazz, sax player Paul Burch began searching for an ensemble of musicians to create a fantastic new big band. During the search he called upon musicians and friends who had played together from his time playing with The Coldstream Guards and playing with bands on-board luxury cruise liners.
Paul has hand picked musicians with impeccable reputations and experience. The band members have performed with some of the biggest names in the music business and have played in many West End Musicals. After assembling the musicians and taking it name from the London street that has been the heart of British music scene,
