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.

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or passage:
“Pour down your warmth, great sun!
While we bask, we two together.
Two together!
Winds blow south, or winds blow north,
Day come white, or night come black,
Home, or rivers and mountains from home,
Singing all time, minding no time,
While we two keep together.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“Man is the shuttle, to whose winding quest
And passage through these looms
God ordered motion, but ordained no rest.”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
