John Klemmer

Have you heard of the Jazz musician: John Klemmer?
I came across his 1979 LP: The best of John Klemmer "Mosaic", a few days ago at a used record store, and I bought it for $4.00. This recording is a great one, a truly beautiful recording. I had never heard of him before. I went to Amozan.com and found a few more LP's and I had to get some more of his stuff. I think he sounds very similar to "Boney James" or vise versa.
Tell us what you think....

Being a modern big band aficionado in the '70s introduced me to some great artists before they become front men. I first heard Richie Cole when he debuted with the Buddy Rich Big Band on "Buddy and Soul." Similarly, John Klemmer first recorded as the new sax guy on a Don Ellis album. I think it was "Soaring" on MPS/BASF.

I don't have the MoFi "Touch," but I picked up the conventional album at a St. Vincent DePaul for fitty cents. Sounds very good.
