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.
