Eric Kloss - We're Goin' Up (1968) [re-rip]

‘We're Goin' Up’ is the sixth album by saxophonist Eric Kloss which was recorded in 1968 and released on the Prestige label. ~ Wiki

The album finds the 18 year old Kloss in serious company with Jimmy Owens on trumpet, Kenny Barron on piano, Bob Cranshaw on bass and the great Alan Dawson on drums. The music is stunning post-bop. ~ KingCake

Personally, I just love this LP. Eric playing is brilliant and as KC said clearly supported by equally marvellous players. Enjoy!

    Tremendous post. I am envious of anybody who is discovering Kloss for the first time via this post. One of those names that every jazz fan should know. Your posts have been magic lately Chris. I am still spinning ALL of the Kenny Barron albums you shared - pure gold. Thanks for all of your effort my Crypt brother...

    I agree with Poppachubby, Kloss is a must for every jazz fan, and one of those players that would deserve more recognition.
