First Listen: Michael McDonald and Dave Koz hit Tower of Power classic

Share this article

    Longtime favorite saxman Dave Koz is celebrating his long and successful career with a brand new album that includes 25 years of collaborations with some of the greatest singers and musicians around. Collaborations should be a hit with fans for bringing back top notch duets and group performances with such greats as Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Boney James and many more.

    Right now we're particularly digging a song that Dave recorded with the great Michael McDonald -- as well as Dave's Summer Horns partners Mindi Abair, Gerald Albright and Richard Elliot. It is an enthusiastic cover of the classic Tower of Power ballad, "So Very Hard to Go." It is a terrific blend of smooth horn playing and soulful vocals, and is a great sound for Summer of '15. 

    Check out "So Very Hard to Go" below and enjoy this new take on a old favorite.
