Night PassageStudio album with a live track by Weather ReportReleasedNovember 1980RecordedJune 29, 1980 (#8) July 12/13, 1980 (#1–7)VenueFestival Hall, Osaka, JapanStudioThe Complex (Los Angeles)GenreJazz fusionLength48:05LabelARC/ColumbiaProducerJoe Zawinul, Jaco PastoriusWeather Report chronology8:30 (1979)Night Passage (1980)Weather Report (1982)Night Passage is the ninth studio album by Weather Report, released in 1980. The tracks were recorded on July 12 and 13, 1980, at The Complex studios in Los Angeles (before a crowd of 250 people who can be heard on a couple of tracks), except for "Madagascar", recorded live at the Festival Hall, Osaka, Japan on June 29 of the same year.The album introduces a new member to the band, percussionist Robert Thomas Jr. Night Passage dials back the elaborate production of some of Weather Report's earlier releases (most notably 1978's Mr. Gone). What is lost in overdubs is made up in solo improvisation in the classic jazz tradition.Jaco Pastorius re-recorded the seventh track on the album, "Three Views of a Secret", for his second solo studio album, Word of Mouth (1981).Critical receptionProfessional ratingsReview scoresSourceRatingAllMusicRobert ChristgauC+Jazz Journal(favorable)The Penguin Guide to Jazz RecordingsThe Rolling Stone Jazz Record GuideRichard S. Ginell of AllMusic wrote: "All things being relative, this is Weather Report's straight-ahead album, where the elaborate production layers of the late-'70s gave way to sparer textures and more unadorned solo improvisation in the jazz tradition, electric instruments and all." Don Heckman of High Fidelity called Night Passage "one of the finest albums Weather Report has ever made".Night Passage was Grammy-nominated in the category of Best Jazz Fusion Performance, Vocal or Instrumental.Track listingNo.TitleWriter(s)Length1."Night Passage"Joe Zawinul6:302."Dream Clock"Zawinul6:263."Port of Entry"Wayne Shorter5:094."Forlorn"Zawinul3:555."Rockin' in Rhythm"Duke Ellington, Irving Mills, Harry Carney3:026."Fast City"Zawinul6:177."Three Views of a Secret"Jaco Pastorius5:508."Madagascar" (live)Zawinul10:56
