Night Passage (album)
Night Passage is Weather Report's third live album, released in 1980. It was recorded live over two nights (July 12-13, 1980) at The Complex studios in Los Angeles for a crowd of 250 people. The album brings about a new member to the band, percussionist Robert Thomas Jr. Night Passage loses the over-done production layers of some of Weather Report's earlier releases (most notably 1978's Mr. Gone). What is lost in layers of overdubs is made up in solo improvisation in the classic jazz tradition.
Trivia
"Three Views of a Secret" would be rerecorded for Jaco's solo album Word of Mouth.
