Doldinger Who Had Started Out Playing Dixieland Back In The 1950s By The Following Decade Was A Modern Tenor Saxophonist Who Also Worked In The Studios. His Mind Has Always Remained Quite Open And In 1970 He Formed Passport To Explore The Combination Of Advanced Jazz Improvising With Rockish Rhythms. Passport Matches Doldinger's Reeds Tenor Soprano Flute And Occasional Keyboards With An Electric Rhythm Section. The Group's First Recording 1971's Passport Also Included Olaf Kübler On Second Tenor And Flute Organist Jimmy Jackson Electric Bassist Lother Meid And Drummer Udo Lindenberg. Soon The Group Went Through The First Of Many Complete Turnovers. The Mid-'70s Version Usually Teamed Doldinger With Keyboardist Kristian Schultze Electric Bassist Wolfgang Schmid And Drummer Curt Cress And By 1978 The Group Had Changed Drastically Again. However No Matter Who Was In The Rhythm Section Klaus Doldinger's Lead Voice And His Band's Musical Direction Remained Consistent Through The Years.
