Passengers is an album by vibraphonist Gary Burton's Quartet with acoustic bassist Eberhard Weber recorded in 1976 and released on the ECM label in 1977.[2] Burton and Weber are featured along with guitarist Pat Metheny, bass guitarist Steve Swallow and drummer Danny Gottlieb. The album is notable for including several early Metheny compositions.
Reception
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".[3]
