Passport-Second Passport

Their second album from 1972 and a recent purchase. This is a used record and a German import on Atlantic Records. A nice high gloss cover like many European releases. Led by Klaus Doldinger with Wolfgang Schmid on bass and electric guitar. Keyboard man John Mealing and drummer Bryan Spring would be replaced on their next record. First time listening to this one it’s little more Progressive than Infinity Machine but still mostly in the Jazz Fusion style. “Nexus” and “Fairy Tale”,using a traditional melody are the best on side one. I though the three on side two “Registration O”,”Horizon Beyond”,And “The Cat From Katmandu” were all good with their mix of sax,keyboards,bass and drums.
