About this album

Touch finds John Klemmer refining a distinctive blend of jazz, soul-jazz and early smooth-jazz aesthetics into one of his most accessible 1970s albums. Released in 1975, it balances melodic saxophone lines with gently funk-inflected rhythms and a polished studio sound, giving the record a cool, late-night flow. Klemmer was already known for crossing jazz with more commercial textures, and Touch shows that approach at full strength, with titles such as the title track and Glass Dolphins helping define its mood. The album sits neatly within the mid-1970s fusion landscape, where jazz artists were widening their audience without losing instrumental identity.
