CD 1977 ECM Records - ECM 1092

Recorded in November 1976 at the Talent Studio, Oslo.

Passengers is an album by vibraphonist Gary Burton's Quartet with bassist Eberhard Weber recorded in 1976 and released on the ECM label in 1977. The album is notable for featuring the early work of guitarist Pat Metheny and several of his compositions. The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating "Although none of the individual songs caught on, the attractive sound of the post-bop unit and an opportunity to hear Pat Metheny in his formative period make this a CD reissue worth exploring".



Guitarist Pat Metheny was a member of vibraphonist Gary Burton's group from 1974-1976, but although he had recorded with Burton twice previously, both of those dates also included guitarist Mick Goodrick. This particular set puts more of a focus on Metheny in a quintet that also includes drummer Danny Gottlieb and both Steve Swallow and Eberhard Weber on basses. Metheny contributed three of the six selections, which are joined by a song apiece from Swallow, Weber, and Chick Corea ("Sea Journey"). Although none of the individual songs caught on, the attractive sound of the post-bop unit and an opportunity to hear Pat Metheny in his formative period make this a CD reissue worth exploring.
