1993 studio album by Dave Burrell
Windward Passages is a studio album released by jazz pianist Dave Burrell and saxophonist David Murray . It was recorded in 1993 and released later that year on December 3 on the Italian Black Saint label. The album is an update/sequel to Burrell's album Windward Passages (1979) on hatART .
The album also features Burrell's wife, Monika Larsson , on the track "Cela Me Va" performing a spoken word reading. However, Murray's playing "ends up drowning her out to an extent."[1]
