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 manage to purchase about five John Klemmer LP so far, and I love every one of them. The John Klemmer Mosaic is a double album and I was glad to get that one also. I am now after "Finesse, Magic Moments, and Magnificent Madness".
Dave Grusen is another favorite of mine, I picked up two of his LP in Tokyo last month. I like those 1970's LP's because they sound so full and natural. I find that most of the 1980's music I come across have too much synthesizers in them, and it drives me "NUTTS", I hate the sound of Synthesizers... it just messes up the music.

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.
