Klaus Doldinger - Spirit Of Eternity (The Doldinger Anthology)
Spirit of Eternity - The Doldinger Anthology is a comprehensive tribute to the life and music of the legendary German jazz saxophonist and film composer Klaus Doldinger. It celebrates the enduring legacy of his extensive career, which spans over seven decades and includes founding the fusion band Passport alongside iconic scores for Das Boot and The NeverEnding Story
The passing of jazz legend Klaus Doldinger on October 16, 2025 left a profound void in the German music and cultural landscape after more than seven decades on stages around the world. As a composer, saxophonist, and bandleader, this exceptional artist influenced generations of listeners. His musical journey began in the early 1950s with the Dixieland groups The Feetwarmers and the subsequent Klaus Doldinger Quartet , before he made music history with Passport. His artistic vitality and the unmistakable soul in his saxophone playing will remain unforgettable. For over 50 years, Klaus Doldinger's legendary 'Tatort' theme has been firmly etched into the collective memory. But his work extends far deeper. Warner Music is now honouring the complete oeuvre of this important post-war musician with a comprehensive retrospective. For the first time, this anthology unites the three major pillars of his life's work: his deep roots in hard bop and heritage jazz, the groundbreaking jazz-rock of 'Passport', and his world-renowned film and television scores such as 'Das Boot' and 'The NeverEnding Story'. A lasting document for eternity, celebrating the enduring spirit of a great mentor and friend.
