Ok, let's check your age to see how many of you remember this one - just listened to it tonight...

John Klemmer "Touch"

Never heard of it, but I've heard stuff way before my time. What type of music is it?

Mid-70's jazz - check out the reviews at Amazon. This was one of the premier late night listening LP's back then and still holds up today.

One of my favorites! My Dad used to play it every night in our camper when we were out camping. I listen to it often, and it still reminds me of those good times with my family

Listened to it on vinyl in the 70's, one of the first cd's I bought in the 80's. Been looking for something new by him. Real nice mood music. Actually listened to it last week quite a bit. Ever try it on headphones?

Yes, the headphones came in handy when my parents were asleep

A classic in its time. Went and saw Klemmer live. Sadly, the odd light show did not match his music.
Speaking of classics, I've recently been enjoying the Oct 10, 1971 live recording of Crosby & NashAnother Stoney Evening The sound is quite good, considering the interferrence of all the smoke hanging in the air.

I still have that on vinyl, but it's been awhile since I listened to it. Thanks for the reminder.

Klemmer was one of the fathers of smooth jazz, (I'll try not to hold that against him). It was a very well recorded album and it seemed as though it was the album of choice to demo speakers at the high end stores in Portland (Oregon) at the time.
