John Klemmer

Yes I do agree on Grover Washington Jr. I did not like his sound at first but I had only head a few for his work at that time. But since I got into vinyl I started to go to the used record stores and Salvation Army stores and I come across many of his records. I started to listen to him and think that he did some great stuff. So far I have collected about eight of his albums. He and John Klemmer, Stanley Turrentine, and Tom Scott are among my favorite Sax players. Most of my other Sax guys like Boney James, Richard Elliott are not available on vinyl, only CD as far as I can tell.

Grover Washington Jr. is also a great choice if you enjoy John Klemmer's music. Another reco would be Sadao Watanabe, check out my personal favorite 'Fill Up The Night'.

Cheers,
John

Raul,
I grew up in East L.A. Perhaps the best musician friend I/we had died on prom night when he stopped to help a stranded motorist on an L.A. freeway. Broke lots of hearts that night.

Rene Cortez is the Klemmer connection.
Joe Garcia took lessons with Joe Pass.

Other childhood friends are Los Lobos.
My girlfriend's dad lived next door to Freddy Hubbard.

tom scott and boney james are 2 of my favorites. we saw boney james last year and it was excellent. other artitsts that i listen to are: dave koz, kirk whalum, david sanborn (terrible in concert IMO), eric marienthal, joshua redman, and patrick lamb (local guy).
