This is just a great fun ride, with the addition of Debbie Harry on vocals the passengers have really created a masterpiece of live performance. Not to be missed

The Jazz Passengers are such a fun and talented band of musicians. Their songs have recently attained a certain mainstream appeal with the addition of Deborah Harry on vocals. The band still pull things out of the clear blue and Miss Harry is definately quirky enough to hold her own with the guys. The Passengers are the kind of band you have to just sit back and enjoy the ride.

This hidden jewel in the career of Blondie Debbie Harry is truly a spellbinding collection of melodies that haunt and compel you to the point of hypnotizing. This is singer Debbie Harry encapsulated in her velvety, most sensual best. The Jazz Passengers create a playground of colorful, sometimes dreamy, sometimes dreary, sometimes nightmarish landscapes in this must-have rare live recording. It all comes together in what can only be described as magical.

This was the second cd release on the 32 Jazz label for Deborah Harry and The Jazz Passengers and was recorded at a Jazz festival in Spain hence the title Live In Spain. This was released around the time of the death of Debbie's mother and was dedicated to her. The music follows the weird fusion of classic jazz,bohemian type free flow ideas and the pop style of Debbie all put together in a great package. The best tracks and trust me they are all incredible songs are the "Bullmoose Boulevard" which is like a marching band type song about sailors,"Fat House" and "Samba Uber Alles". The ballads are where Debbie shines the most on like "Wednesday Afternoon","When The Fog Lifts" and the live versions of "Dog In Sand" and "Maybe I'm Lost". Just a great cd of funny and serious jazz tunes from Debbie and her second great band The Jazz Passengers. A+++++++++
