A spontaneous autobiographical disclosure. A free-form slo-mo listening party. A song a day. Yours to enjoy.

Passport party time
From what I understand, Klaus Doldinger is the Miles Davis of Germany. His Passport group has been a stopping point for German jazzers since the early '70s. As far as the Miles comparison goes, he's definitely stuck to the fusion period; the Passport albums I've heard play like Cliff's Notes for the genre, a fair share of it deliciously hokey.
Doldinger clearly brought his passport to the studio for this jam, because it's 100% funky USA 1974. There needs to be a scene in a future movie where all the passengers in the terminal are grooving to this on their way to the baggage claim. As for the album cover, I have no explanation.
We are not in it for the money. Songblague runs on communitarian values, love of music, and a dash of vanity. If you like what you're hearing, please purchase it from one of the remaining retailers who would like to sell it to you.
