JOHN KLEMMER "TOUCH" ⓒ 1975, 1985 MCA Records Inc. Ⓟ 1975 MCA Records Inc. MCAD-37152 Made in USA (Original 1985 pressing, disc made in Japan, no barcode) A 1975 album by John Klemmer, a Chicago jazz saxophonist who was active in the crossover field in the 70s. Fusion based on a quartet with electric piano. The songs are mellow, arranged by Dave Grusin. The atmosphere is like CTI fusion. However, the mellow groove "TOUCH" (the title track), which was also sampled in E.G.G. MAN's "Bake no Kawa (Sheep's Clothing)", became popular, which is a mystery. While "BLOWIN' GOLD" from 1969, which includes "FREE SOUL", is popular, BEN THE ACE had been paying attention to this album from an early stage. ① Touch 6:46 ② Glass Dolphins 3:25 ③ Waterwheels 7:09 ④ Free Fall Lover 6:46 ⑤ Sleeping Eyes 6:53 ⑥ Body Pulse 5:26 ⑦ Tone Row Weaver 7:58 ⑧ Walk With Me My Love And Dream 4:00 John Klemmer - tenor sax, flute, echoplex, Fender Rhodes Larry Carlton - guitars Chuck Domanico, Chuck Rainey - bass John Guerin, Harvey Mason - drums Dave Grusin, George Duke - Fender Rhodes Emil Richards, Joe Porcaro - perc.
