DESCRIPTION
Dave Koz notes:
"In the best of times or in the worst of times, for every person there is at least one thing in life to feel good about, to hold dear, to feel fortunate in being able to experience. In that sense we are all lucky.
I hope you enjoy this collection of songs as much as I enjoyed recording them." - DK
This album is dedicated with admiration to the memory of Paul Bortolazzo, who showed me what it means to be a "Lucky Man".
TRACK NOTES & SPECIAL DEDICATIONS:
"Don't Look Any Further - Prelude" ("UNCULO UTHOKOZISA ABADABUKILEYO")
Its meaning in the Zulu language of Africa: "Singing makes all the sad people happy because it is the voice of happiness".
Adapted for this album with admiration and gratitude to Joseph Shabalala and Ladysmith Black Mombazo.
"Don't Look Any Further" (Thanks to Jeff Lorber for added vibe).
"Saxman" (This song was written in celebration of the saxophone and to pay homage to all the great sax players of the past whose music continues to inspire and make people feel good...)
"Lucky Man" (Dedicated to Taylor Rose Wilson)
"Misty" (Recorded on Valentines Day 1993)
