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....

I have most certainly heard of John Klemmer, welcome to the club. I don't know that I'd compare him to 'Boney James', but you may.

Get the 'Touch' MFSL LP, which IMHO is his best work.

Cheers,
John

Knew of him in high school. My buddy, Rene, took lessons from him, later played with him. Klemmer dedicated an LP to him.

Another friend took lessons from some guy named Joe Pass.

+1 on "Touch" album/cd. Then find "Magnificent Madness."

Dear John: I agree, Touch is a must to hear/have, we have to remember that one of the Klemmer " group " on this recording was another " big name ": Dave Grusin.

Btw, from MFSL LP the Joe Sample " Rainbow Seeker " is very good too.

Oregon, who are those friends of you?

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.
