Title: If you liked old Passport
Review: ...you will be pleased with how consistent Doldinger remains. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars was to leave some headroom for my all-time greatest albums. Relative to the '90s, however, and to most post-'70s fusion music, this is easily a top contender. Contemporary sounding but without that "smooth jazz" blandness you find on commercial radio, "Paradise" has inspired me to go out and buy all the old Passport records I can find. Amazingly, more than 20 years into his project, Doldinger manages to stay fresh and interesting without abandoning the sound and style that made Passport great in the 1970s. And from someone who thinks that most contemporary jazz went downhill starting around 1979, believe me, that's saying a lot.
