Klaus Doldinger And Passport – “Uranus”, “Schirokko”, “Mandragora”, “Ataraxia” And The Theme From The Movie “Das Boot”

And now for something completely different – Klaus Doldinger and Passport, a German jazz formation that has been compared with the US band Weather Report.

I won’t claim to know the individual tracks, I only heard Doldinger’s music for the first time in 1983, and liked it.

Here are some tracks I have found from the Seventies (the band was formed in 1971) and the very early Eighties.

“Uranus” (1971):

“Schirokko” (1973):

“Mandragora” (1973):

“Ataraxia”, at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1980:

For some reason that one reminds me a little of Deep Purple (as does the name of Montreux…. “We all came down to Montreux on the Lake Geneva shoreline…).

Klaus Doldinger produced the theme music of the 1981 movie “Das Boot”:

More of “Das Boot” with pictures from the film:

Hope you liked todays “change of tune”.
