Night Passage (album)
Night Passage is an album by Weather Report, released in 1980. The tracks were recorded in August 1980 at The Complex studios in Los Angeles (before a crowd of 250 people which can be heard on a couple of tracks), except for "Madagascar", recorded live in Osaka, in June of the same year. 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.

Drawn close by dreams of fledgling wing,
It was because night nursed them in its fold.”
