I was excited as a teenager to discover that I was studying tenor sax with the same Chicago jazz man, Joe Daley, as was young John Klemmer. I remember John was one of the pioneers in electrifying the saxophone. We took lessons with Joe Daley at his home in Chicago, near Clark and Wilson. Joe used to play for Tony Bennet at the Palmer House. They were both great horn players.

I remember back in 70's Klemmer was a guest on a talk show. The host remarked how beat up JK's sax looked. Of course Klemmer let it go. The shape of the instrument had nothing to do with the sounds he brought out.
