What was supposed to be a direct flight was beset by delays, including having to divert to Boise, Idaho, after flight crew members timed out and needed to be relieved and the plane encountered a mechanical issue, Koz said Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>This wasn&#8217;t the first delay the band experienced since its tour started around mid-July, and it even had to cancel two shows because of travel-related issues, Koz said. But the delay last week was particularly deflating not just for the musicians but for everyone on the plane.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou could just feel the energy. Everybody was so frustrated,\u201d Koz said.<\/p>\n<p>A flight attendant who saw the musicians bring their instruments on board asked if they&#8217;d be willing to play a song while they were stuck in Boise.<\/p>\n<p>A <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNPTiXdRM85\/?hl=en\" id=\"link-fd2efe734ba2899ffe5b6ef504da9d84\" target=\"_self\">video<\/a> of them performing Stevie Wonder\u2019s \u201cYou Haven\u2019t Done Nothin\u2019\u201d \u2014 the closer to their show \u2014 went viral on social media. It shows Koz and fellow saxophone player Marcus Anderson grooving in the aisle with other horn players behind them and Jeff Bradshaw on trombone getting creative to play the large instrument between seats.<\/p>\n<p>Passengers are seen smiling and swaying in their seats, with some recording the performance on their phones.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson said it felt good to lift spirits, though Koz admitted being nervous that some passengers might not like \u201chorns playing in people&#8217;s ears.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anderson likened the feeling afterward to that of a great workout at the gym. The musicians never thought about the possibility of going viral, he said. \u201cIt was just doing something good for the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They performed just the one song, but they knew that was enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt just was right, and it brought everybody together in a way that was very special,\u201d Koz said. \u201cI\u2019ll remember that moment for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.pressdemocrat.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Passengers plagued by delays on a flight from St. Louis to Seattle got an unexpected pick-me-up when jazz saxophonist Dave Koz and bandmates held an impromptu jam session on the plane.
