Back by popular demand, GRAMMY®-nominated saxophonist Dave Koz and Friends return to Ruth Eckerd Hall for Summer Horns! Building on the massive success of their Summer Horns projects, Koz And Friends are returning to the road with the brass-fueled, feel-good tour of the summer. Joining him this year will be saxophonists Mindi Abair, Kirk Whalum & Vincent Ingala. Released in 2013, Dave Koz and Friends Summer Horns spent five weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Current Contemporary Jazz Albums chart and was nominated for a GRAMMY®. The album featured imaginative takes from Koz, Mindi Abair, and more on the classic hits of Tower of Power, Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago, Blood Sweat & Tears and other brassy juggernauts of the 1960’s and ’70s. It yielded four No. 1 hits. This live show is sure to be one of the hottest shows this summer and is not to be missed!

Ruth Eckerd Hall, located in Clearwater, FL, was founded in 1977 when a 38-acre parcel of land was donated to the City of Clearwater by June Baumgardner Gelbart in honor of Richard B. Baumgardner, Sr., with the condition that the land be used for a performing arts center. Local philanthropist Jack Eckerd donated to the cause and purchased naming rights for the venue for his beloved Ruth. Groundbreaking ceremonies were held in 1979 and the Hall was completed in October 1983, opening on October 16, 1983, with the first official performance featuring the Suzuki Children of Japan. Designed by the prestigious Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Ruth Eckerd Hall is a 73,000 square-foot facility that features a 2,180 seat auditorium, the Margarete Heye Great Room Banquet facility, administration offices and the Marcia P. Hoffman School of the Arts which includes: three studio classrooms, four private teaching studios, the Michael & Joan Kline Dance Studio, the Henrietta Campbell Rehearsal Studio, the Challener-Morrow Production Studios, a visual arts learning lab and the recently renovated 250-seat Murray Theatre.
