Passport was formed in 1971 as a jazz fusion group led by saxophonist Klaus Doldinger. This album features Brian Auger, Johnny Griffin, Alexis Korner, Volker Kriegel, and Pete York. It was recorded live October 16, 1973, in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The surrealist airbrush art depicts a partly transparent portrait of Doldinger. A hand emerges from the multicolored mountain ranges holding a mirror with a second face wearing clown makeup. It is credited to Wandrey’s Studio, Hamburg.
The album’s title is in Orbit, spiced up with double outlines, vertical gradient fills, and highlights. The names are in Weiss, which has been Passport’s brand typeface since the self-titled debut album.
Klaus Doldinger passed away 16 October 2025. Rest in peace.
