Windward Passages (Black Saint) is a studio album released by jazz pianist Dave Burrell. It was recorded in 1993 and released later that year on December 3. The album once again features Burrell collaborator David Murray and is update/sequel to their 1979 album Windward Passages. This album was released by Black Saint Records.
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]
