Klaus Doldinger, best-known for leading the excellent fusion group Passport in the 1970s and '80s, has had a diverse and episodic career. He started out studying piano in 1947 and clarinet five years later, playing in Dixieland bands in the 1950s. By 1961, he had become a modern tenor saxophonist, working with such top visiting and expatriate Americans as Don Ellis, Johnny Griffin, Benny Bailey, Idrees Sulieman, Donald Byrd, and Kenny Clarke, recording as a leader for Philips, World Pacific, and Liberty.
His late 60's recordings were under the name"Motherhood". They released two albums "I Feel so Free" in 1969 and "Doldinger's Motherhood" in 1970, both for the label Liberty. In "I Feel so Free" featuring nine funky, punchy originals and two covers from Beatles and Cream. The original vinyl copies changing hands for well over 500 euros.
However, in 1970, he initiated a long series of fusion-oriented sessions for Atlantic that featured his tenor, soprano, flute, and occasional keyboards with an electric rhythm section. In addition to writing music for films (including Das Boot) and television in Europe, Doldinger has remained active as a player who occasionally explores his roots in hard bop into the late '90s, but because he has always lived in Europe, he remains underrated in the U.S.

Klaus Doldinger, más conocido por liderar el excelente grupo de fusión Passport en los años 70 y 80, ha tenido una carrera diversa y episódica. Comenzó estudiando piano en 1947 y clarinete cinco años más tarde, tocando en bandas de Dixieland en la década de 1950. En 1961, se había convertido en un saxofonista tenor moderno, trabajando con estadounidenses visitantes y expatriados de primera fila como Don Ellis, Johnny Griffin, Benny Bailey, Idrees Sulieman, Donald Byrd y Kenny Clarke, grabando como líder para Philips, World Pacific y Liberty.
Sus grabaciones de finales de los 60 fueron bajo el nombre de "Motherhood". Publicaron dos álbumes "I Feel so Free" en 1969 y "Doldinger's Motherhood" en 1970, ambos para el sello Liberty. En "I Feel so Free" se incluyen nueve originales con mucho ritmo y dos versiones de los Beatles y Cream. Las copias originales en vinilo cambian de manos por bastante más de 500 euros.
Sin embargo, en 1970, inició una larga serie de sesiones orientadas a la fusión para Atlantic en las que aparecían su tenor, su soprano, su flauta y ocasionalmente sus teclados con una sección rítmica eléctrica. Además de componer música para películas (como Das Boot) y televisión en Europa, Doldinger se ha mantenido activo como intérprete que ocasionalmente explora sus raíces en el hard bop hasta finales de los 90, pero como siempre ha vivido en Europa, sigue siendo subestimado en Estados Unidos.
