Tonight`s Jazz Feature is the recording debut of a young prodigy named Eric Kloss. Eric is celebrating his 73rd Birthday today and playing his music is a good idea to honor his recorded legacy. Eric was born blind and learned music and the saxophone at the Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children and made his professional debut at age 12!! He continued to perform in and around Philadelphia at concerts and festivals and made his recording debut at age 16! This album was called ``Introducing Eric Kloss`` and was the first of ten for Prestige Records. He is heard here on alto and tenor saxophones with the great Don Patterson on Hammond organ, Pat Martino on guitar and Billy James on drums. Eric went on to record for Muse Records in the 70`s and mixed straight-ahead Jazz with fusion. He also taught at various colleges but health problems curtailed his playing and recording activity and he has kept a low profile since. Today he celebrates his 73rd Birthday and I hope we might hear him
