Klaus Doldinger used his 'Passport' for heaven - he died on Thursday evening surrounded by his family - R.I.P.

R.I.P.  This was a favorite back in college:

 

[Big Beat Steve]

I never dug his Passport period recordings too much but have accumulated most of his 60s Philips albums through the years. Saw him being interviewed on several TV jazz documentaries, and he always struck me as down-to-earth, factual, open-minded, easygoing and a pleasant character in every respect. No big-shot allures, no show-offiness ...
RIP and thanks!

RIP Klaus Doldinger!

This was a favorite of mine in college.

 

I also enjoy this with my man John Mealing, recorded shortly after he left If.

RIP, I enjoyed much of his Passport and pre-Passport work.  He was 89.

[Teasing the Korean]

Know him only from the Das Boot soundtrack.  RIP.

My first Doldinger on clarinet from 1960 with Manfred Lahnstein (tb), later Finance Minister in the cabinet of Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and a close friend of him.
