Klaus Doldinger - The First 50 Years of Passport (Remastered Edition) (2021) [Hi-Res]

Retirement is out of the question for Klaus Doldinger, who celebrates his 85th birthday on 12 May 2021. Always devoted to his passion for music, his ears are still pricked up far and wide. That's been going on for almost 70 years now. Back then, in the early 1950s, he founded the Dixieland band The Feetwarmers with like-minded jazz enthusiasts in Düsseldorf, followed by the Klaus Doldinger Quartet, with whom he devoted himself to modern jazz. Today, he says modestly, he wants to continue to improve constantly. But in what actually, one is willing to ask. In filling his saxophone tone with even more soul? In composing? Actually, he has already played, told and said everything and more that a musician can communicate in almost two lifetimes.
