i feel so free

German sax legend Klaus Doldinger has presided over jazz band Passport for more than half a century, the ensemble drawing comparisons with Weather Report, but before Passport there was The Motherhood, a jazz-rock side project spearheaded by Doldinger. Their rare debut album 'I Feel So Free' has nine originals and a few unique cover tunes, with Doldinger's searing alto and soprano sax and clarinet lines aided and abetted by the pounding drums of Udo Lindenberg and Amon Duul's Keith Forsey. The overarching format is jazz, but as the material was recorded in 1969, here there are plenty of psyche leanings throughout the disc, as well as doses of funky soul.
