Album Notes & Community Reviews

Forming the ensemble Passport, the celebrated German jazz saxophonist delivered a breathtaking, highly rhythmic debut of European jazz-rock fusion. Featuring the phenomenal drumming of Udo Lindenberg and intricate moog synthesizer lines, the record bridges the gap between sophisticated hard-bop improvisation and the heavy, electric groove of krautrock. It initiated one of the most successful and enduring fusion projects in European history.
