Passport - Sky Blue (1978)

The seventh album from this German band.

The band is a seven piece big band on this album with a lineup of flutes, saxophones, keyboards, guitars, bass, drums, percussion and voices.

The band was still going strong and it is just recently they have given up the ghost.

The band was playing pretty hard fusion on their first six albums. Sky Blue sees a bit of a change of direction.

The fusion is still here and in force.

The music is now a bit laidback and some Latin-American rhythms and jazz has been introduced into their music too.

Most of the solos is done by Klaus Doldinger on his saxophones and that band feeling the first albums got is a bit absent here.

Nevertheless, Klaus Doldinger still delivers the goods here. Even with a change of direction. The music is good and enjoyable.

This is another good Passport album. Check it out.
