en route? - A worthwhile stop at Doldinger Passport

A very good album of the old master and his Doldinger composed of rounders ensembles. The seven musicians have a lot of fun in the cheeks. Maybe missing a breath, to gain access to the musical quality of its predecessor "Inner Blue", it may not be quite as balanced, but not every album can be a 5-star-plus album. Four to five stars, however, are justified.

The album is varied and always has the delectable Doldinger sound. Almost 69 minutes long Passport enjoyment, much playfulness included (example: "Seven to Four").

When entitled "Marock" are having a good (!) Plant left and right in the background Biboul Darouiche and Ernst Stroer very good to hear the sound then in the spatial representation of almost 3-D character. In many parts so a very well-received CD.

Wonderful is also the live version of "Dark Flame", which was recorded as part of the Symphonic Orchestra Project with support tour in the autumn of 2014 by East Westphalia-Lippe. Clear, live it was still a bit nicer

The wonderful solo by Michael Hornek on keyboards (supported by the brothers Scales) at Playground Jam also needs mentioning.

The CD leaves you wanting another live concert in Minden Jazz Club or elsewhere. The trip can go on ..., "en route" just.
