John Klemmer - Waterfalls (1972)


Bought this LP based on cover art alone (this isn't my rip, mind you) and was not disappointed. Some tasty, psych-tinged post-bop led by saxophonist John Klemmer. Waterfalls is a live recording, but the sound is studio-quality. Really feelin' the echoplex on the sax, as well as the electric piano, which helps to make for a generally loose, mellow vibe.

Track listing:
1. Prelude I
2. Waterfall I
3. Utopia - Man's Dream
4. There's Some Light Ahead
5. Centrifugal Force
6. Prelude II
7. Waterfall II

  3. Hi Spirit. You have a really tasteful, varied blog-it's quite exceptional!This LP was certainly from back when JK was amazingly trippy psych/jazzy. Long before the sellout years. I was fortunate enough to see Klemmer back in '72 with his full array of echoplex and other noise-making gizmos/goodies. Coolest parts were where he played some swirling echoplexed flute on an array of speakers throughout the club, audible both on stage and in the viewing balcony. Was a very nice soul and very appreciative towards the rather meager crowd.yeah, those were the days. (On a side note, can you please let dummy me know, from what movie your banner picture comes from? Thanks.
