"I met Klaus Doldinger in the "musician's bar" at the Montreux Jazz festival immediately after my 1977 performance there with the Don Ellis Orchestra. Imagine my surprise when he called three years later and invited me to come to Munich and spend a week recording part of the upcoming Passport album. To Klaus' pleasant surprise, things pretty much clicked and we were able to finish the whole album during that first visit!"

Long only available in Europe, this double album set - recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1980 - has finally been re-issued on CD in the US by Wounded Bird Records. Most of this concert is also viewable on YouTube - click here.
