MixBlogs MixSounds: Dave Koz Do you turn your nose up every time someone mentions the Smooth Jazz genre? Then you probably have no use for Dave Koz—despite the fact that he's a good looking guy with a reputation for being awfully nice, and he wails. The California native has been a mainstay on tour and in the studio since he graduated from UCLA nearly two decades ago. Top Stories 'The Lone Ranger': Sound Challenges of a Fun-Filled Western Making a western in this day and age is a risky proposition. But leave it to Gore Verbinski—director of the mega-popular Pirates of the Caribbean films—to come up with a crowd-pleasing summer epic to give the genre a much-needed shot of adrenalin. The Lone Ranger, starring Armie Hammer in the title role and Johnny Depp as Tonto (his character elevated from sidekick to second lead) is a western for a new generation of moviegoers, a deft blending of imaginative, cleverly staged action sequences, a compelling classic story and doses of humor, both silly and dark. This just might work. Capturing the Dark Beauty of The National "For a lot of people, it takes awhile for our records to really sink in," says Aaron Dessner of the moody Brooklyn rock band The National. "We try to make our records interesting in terms of how the songs unfold and develop—the dynamics—and, of course, Matt's lyrics usually aren't that obvious, even when they're fairly direct."
