The Dance：
2000年经过两年的准备，戴夫·考兹终于发行他个人的第五张专辑─《The Dance（舞）》。在这张最新专辑中，Dave Koz将Jeff Lorber、Carl Sturken、Evan Rogers及弟弟Jeff等，十年前合作/制作过第一张个人专辑的工作伙伴再度聚集起来，集体为《The Dance》创作。
在亚洲版中，特别加入由那英演唱过的《征服》，并重新詮释戴夫·考兹对音乐的感情，尤如进入一种成人世界的音乐爱情故事。且为了要和全球不同地区的乐迷有更亲密的接触，他首次尝试为不同的地区特别演奏一首作品。所以，他非常希望能将这首在华人地区造成轰动的歌曲，在深情浓重的萨克斯乐音搭配下，做一个最完美的呈现，当成是给全亚洲的一份献礼。
这次由巨星Luther Vandross负责担纲歌曲人声部分的，是首带有摇摆复古风味的曲目《Can't Let You Go》（The Sha La Song）。另外，现代R&B/Hip-Hop音乐界的巨星Montell Jordan参与制作并重唱1984年由乔治·迈克尔在威猛乐队（Wham）时代所发行的经典歌曲《Careless Whisper》（无心快语）。而数度获得格莱美奖的福音乐队Take 6中的Mervyn Warren与David Thomas，则重唱了灵魂乐的经典乐曲《I'll Be There》，让整张专辑的音乐性更加地丰富。
此外，带有拉丁风情的轻松摇摆小品《You Are Me, I Am You》，则是表现一段由Smooth Jazz乐界的吉它名家Marc Antoine所担纲的佛拉明哥吉它独奏。在另一首展现不同吉它风味的《The Bright Side》中，由著名的Jonathan Butler一显身手，为此曲增添许多趣味和戏謔的风味。
专辑的其他歌曲同样也令人充满惊喜和期待。由Dave与Jeff Lorber共同谱写的首支单曲《I'm Waiting For You》、复古的灵魂乐曲《Together Again》、为纪念其已故父亲Norman而创作的《Right By Your Side》、揉合50种萨克斯演奏及由福音乐界的超级巨星BeBe Winans献声的歌曲《Cuban Highway》与Glen Ballard所担任制作的专辑同名曲《The Dance》（曾是美国的乡村歌王葛斯·布鲁克斯的招牌畅销曲）等。自1990年开始，戴夫·考兹以个人首张同名专辑《Dave Koz》创下大好的销售纪录之后，他已经成为Smooth Jazz乐界的一种音乐现象。而戴夫·考兹对这张新专辑的看法是回归到他为第一张专辑创作时的那一种节奏与动力，并认为这是一种很自然的演变过程。因为在创作这张专辑时，戴夫·考兹正处在生命的回顾时刻，回顾他的过去与他早先所获得的一些成功经验。据他表示，“坚决地相信每一次的音乐创作都应该是我精彩而丰富的音乐生命记录。”
