Passport - Second Passport. 1972 Germany


Wasn't expecting Passport to be the source of my next +1 listen. But that's recently what happened as I was drawn in by the energetic, and at times, complex jazz rock brought forth by Klaus Doldinger's bunch. A2, A4, B2, and B3 are stellar. A3 is spacious and provocative. Meanwhile A1 and B1 appear to be more traditional but each breaks into their own serious jams. Saxophone and organ lead the solo parade. Superb album.


Ownership: LP: 1972 Atlantic (Germany). Single sleeve. Purchased at a record store in Santa Fe, New Mexico (2022).

CD: 2006 Atlantic (Japan). Papersleeve edition. This was my introduction to the album (2015). 


11/18/15 (first listen); 4/15/23 (review/new entry)
