Dave Koz and Cory Wong - The Golden Hour (2021)

“Getaway Car”…”Junkyard Dunebuggy”…”Engine 71”… For GRAMMY®-nominated artists Dave Koz and Cory Wong, there’s a method to the freewheeling madness in titling three key tracks from their rockin,’ jazzy, groove-intensive album, The Golden Hour, with a vehicular theme. For saxophonist/entrepreneur Koz and hipster funk guitarist/songwriter Wong (Vulfpeck, the Fearless Flyers, Cory and the Wongnotes), it’s their spirited attempt to capture in words the high octane spontaneous combustion and wind-in-your-hair carefree coolness that’s possible when musical masters of two different generations venture fearlessly off their regular career paths. Hightailing it into a live-in-the-studio, socially distant session with Wong producing and a powerhouse ensemble backing them, they’ve created a momentum-shifting project that puts them on fresh creative trajectories.
