I would be remiss if I didn't mention Dave played a very fine arrangement of Somewhere Over The Rainbow, arranged by Rob Mounsey, one of the best arrangements I've heard of this classic. The whole audience was singing along in full voice and harmony with heart to the end. To top it off Larry honored his close friend PRINCE by performing a moving version of PURPLE RAIN. Well, Dave did have an extraordinary band (& a funky vocalist named Lisa, sorry I didn't get her last name!) including the genius keyboardist, Greg Phillinganes who was formerly Michael Jackson's musical director for a decade, need I say more? Love this gifted man. Koz's whole band was screaming "WE TIGHT!!!".and this was only the first night of their summer tour! Get ready America, this show is going to blow you away! it was Ridiculous!!ĭave was the host extraordinaire killin the different saxes that were handed to him on stages. When Bill, (also known as Rubberhand Man:) and Larry Graham did dueling basses. My long time friend and my musical director for decades, Bill Sharpe who played bass for Dave before being joined onstage by Larry (his idol:) Larry's stage entrance from a side door and walking through the audience playing and looking incredible in his all white outfit. still mind boggling to remember what an outstanding writer Sly was. I had such a warm & loving night, throw in a great concert here in Austin with my dear friend Dave Koz, and the legendary Larry Graham, who rocked as hard as ever!! When you hear that baritone voice you loved so much in all those iconic hits he recorded with Sly and the Family Stone, Whacha gon' do? You gon'get up and shake your Bootty!! They did a slamming medley of Sly Stone hits. Brenda Russell said about Larry Graham and Dave Koz concert in Austin last night.
