Here is an album from one of my favorite unknown saxophonists, Eric Kloss. Eric was 16 at the time and attending a school for the blind in Pennsylvania when he got 'discovered' and produced this record for Prestige in 1965. Somehow certain parts of the record are fucked up for unknown reasons so I am sorry about that. Please direct all complaints towards Prestige Records for their shenanigans over there ^_^

how can i get the album Floresta Canto from Phil Woods? :(
:)
In 1988, I was attending the Duquesne University School of Music. The small group ensemble I joined was being taught by Eric Kloss. The first tune he called out was Donna Lee. He was the scariest improviser I have ever met in my life. Eric played all members of the saxophone family, the flute, piano, drums, etc.. Absolutely brilliant.
I'll never forget driving home from NTSU in Denton ( I was a Jazz student) on the weekend and heard Eric's version of "Milestones" on the car radio... I nearly drove off the road.....nearly quit playing Alto. He was so adept and killing it at an early age... never heard anyone who could play like that...years later I talked to him on the phone once.. A mellow cat and he was playing flute in the background at first of call.. it was beautiful.... miss the 70's.
Yeah and they just replaced the jazz radio with some shit you can get on every other station. Depriving our generation of more discoveries like those ones. Wack.
Is Eric still around? I would love to hear an interview with him!
Yeah used play this over and over. Saw him in the mid 70's at Gulliver's in West Patterson, NJ.
I became an instant Eric Kloss fan when I first heard Sky Shadows at a jazz club playing overhead in the background between the band's sets. I went out the next day and bought the album and then every Eric Kloss album I could find, including this - his first. Rarely do you hear such warmth and maturity and mastery of an instrument at age 16. A blindfold test with any jazz aficionado would bring conclusions with certainty of this sax player being at least twice his actual age.
My favorite albums of his are Sky Shadows and To Hear is To See (that I see Bernie has also uploaded to YT in their entirety - Gee, Bernie, you have great taste!). But I'm still missing a few, so still searching.
Thanks, Bernie!
Eric Kloss was arguably the best student of Sonny Stitt and you can hear Sonny's influence on tracks like Old Folks and also in his choice of sidemen all closely associated with Stitt and his record company at the time. Last time I saw him was in the 70's when he came to my gig in Europe with Barry Miles and they played a set with my rhythm section. They both sounded wonderful.
Sure Sonny? I think Coltrane is the most influential saxophonist in his youngest sound. Take a listen to last solos bars of the first piece. Stitt was only a teacher in the very first period, after this his love for Coltrane touch the maximum level when he met JC and (his words) : ....Mr. Coltrane, I’m 14 years old and you really inspire me.’...Ciao
@@pierluigiromagnoli162 Nah, he's 1000% Sonny influenced, look at the last song, Embraceable You. Actually just hearing it for the first time myself, he transferred to some Charlie Parker around 33:30 onward. That's awesome
Eric Kloss (born April 3, 1949, Greenville, Pennsylvania) is an American jazz saxophonist.
Music career
Kloss was born blind in Greenville, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, and attended the Western Pennsylvania School for the Blind, which was run by his father. When he was 10, he started on saxophone, and two years later he was playing in night clubs with professional musicians such as Bobby Negri, Charles Bell, and Sonny Stitt. At 16, he recorded his debut album, Introducing Eric Kloss (Prestige, 1965) with Don Patterson and Pat Martino.[1]
On his third album, Grits & Gravy (1966), he was recording with musicians over twice his age: Jaki Byard, Richard Davis, and Alan Dawson. He continued recording and performing while a student at Duquesne University. A fan of Elvis Presley and The Ventures, he was attracted to the growth of jazz fusion in the 1960s and '70s, and eventually played with fusion musicians Chick Corea, Dave Holland, and Jack DeJohnette.[1] He also collaborated with Richie Cole and Gil Goldstein, and did sessions with Cedar Walton, Jimmy Owens, Kenny Barron, Jack DeJohnette, Booker Ervin, Chick Corea, Barry Miles, and Terry Silverlight.[2]
In the 1980s, Kloss taught at Rutgers University, then Duquesne and Carnegie Mellon. He and his wife, a vocalist, collaborated in a group called Quiet Fire. He has performed and recorded rarely since the 1980s due to health problems.[1]

Eric was 16 years of age when he recorded this.
Too old already!😆
I saw him 10years later at a little jazz joint in West Patterson,NJ called Gullivers.
Whoa, this blew my mind. Berns, can you sort out those timestamps in the description? Appreciate all the jazzy goodness. Thanks.
Awesome, thanks for the posting.
I fell in love with Eric’s playin when I was about 12 years old. My dad had this album and thought he looked corny compared to all the other jazz players on other albums. L finally played it and my dad never saw the album again.............. but he would hear it every day. Funny, he took a father’s loss on that one as well as he’s Art Blakey collection,Dexter Gordon,and Sonny Stitt album with close your eyes.
Ps- I tried to lift his Carmen McCrae album with Allie but he wasn’t havin it!!!!!!!
Love you Pop. You helped me become the Man and Musician I am today.
It was a gent walking buy who heard this wonderful tone by the name. Of Norman A. Ellis who was a jazz player of the organ who helped Eric
Super loose but very together... awesome :)
