Klaus Doldinger & Passport - Down To Earth

A production of the great Klaus Doldinger with Passport, the prestigious fusion german group. Although very well-known, perhaps they never reached the level of popularity wished by his fans and certainly, very well deserved. This album is quite eclectic, but this is a typical characteristic of Doldinger' s music. It goes from a bluesy style, in Lowdown And Flyin ' High (excellent track), a funky touch, as in Korako, the Cuffey' s rap in Passport's In The House, to a deeply intimate sound in Missing You. Down to Earth CD was honoured with the 1st German jazz Award in 1994.
