Cons: none
I originally bought this album for the "Can't let you go" single. I always have liked Dave Koz's music and agree with critics comparison of him to David Sanborn, a remarkable artist in his own right. However, after listening to this album I was blown away at his musical genius, especially in regards to "You are me, I am you." I had to listen to that track 3 times, amazed that I had never heard this song on the radio. I completely agree with the comment above, even if you are not a fan of jazz, this album is a must have for those "special" times. ...

Pro Reviews: Dance
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Since his self-titled 1990 smash debut, Dave Koz has been one of smooth jazz's greatest musicians. The saxman scored big on the radio and in retail even when he turned away from his established RB/pop sound on 1996's Off the Beaten Path, which was done with more acoustic instruments. The Dance brings him back to the hard-hitting RB funk sounds of that first album and its follow-up, 1993's Lucky Man. Aside from reuniting him with some of the producers who worked on his debut -- Jeff Lorber, Carl Sturken, Evan Rogers, and his brother Jeff -- The Dance is a true testament to the art of collaboration. He surrounds himself with some of pop, RB, gospel, and his own genre's greatest performers, but never lets us forget that it's a sax player's album. The swinging retro funk hip-hop of "Can't Let You Go (The Sha La Song)" features Luther Vandross. Modern RB star Montell Jordan co-produces and takes lead vocal on a cover of Wham's "Careless Whisper" that is perhaps a bit too faithful to the original. Several members of Take 6 help Koz achieve a much more original effect on "I'll Be There." He also works with personal hero Burt Bacharach, who co-wrote and plays piano on the lovely soprano ballad "Don't Give Up." Koz ventures into Latin territory on "You Are Me, I Am You," which features a sizzling flamenco guitar solo by Marc Antoine, while another top smooth jazz guitarist, Jonathan Butler, scats and plays a vibrant acoustic harmony on "The Bright Side." Lest Koz get lost among all the partying with his pals, he does everything himself on the album's most exciting but possibly least commercial track, "Cuban Hideaway." This cut is a Tito Puente-type Latin jazz big band explosion on which he plays all the horn instruments, alto, tenor, soprano, and baritone -- 50 sax tracks in all. This disc easily one of smooth jazz's finest moments of 1999, but imagine the possibilities had Koz put this sort of thought into creating more tracks so off the beaten path. - Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide |

Pros: Smooth jazz indeed - mixes many genres into jazz, FANTASTIC
Cons: IT'S TOO FANTASTIC YOU GET ADDICTED TO THE ALBUM!!! :):):)
I definitely always wanted to have this, although not available in the Philippines, I asked my dad to buy a copy from the US.
... very creative.

The album offers a lot of twists in smooth jazz, Careless whisper, is by far the best version I have heard, a blend of R&B and jazz. (The original by wham is a classic, its of course unbeatable in its own genre..)
'Surrender', gives you a lot of images in the mind, either a woman 'working it' in front of the camera.... or what the title itself suggests, some action stuff where a convict runs away from the police.
Can't Let You Go - kinda funny, the lyrics only contain Shalala... and the music sounds "boy-bandish"
Know You by heart - GOOSEBUMPS!!! Very emotional.
Love is on the way - Pop, its kinda danceable too like Can't let you go. :)
