'''''Windward Passages''''' is a [[studio album]] released by [[jazz]] [[piano|pianist]] [[Dave Burrell]] and [[saxophone|saxophonist]] [[David Murray (saxophonist)|David Murray]]. It was recorded in 1993 and released later that year on December 3 on the Italian [[Black Saint/Soul Note|Black Saint]] label. The album is an update/[[sequel]] to Burrell's album ''[[Windward Passages]]'' (1979) on [[Hathut Records|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."<ref name="AMG">{{cite web|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r136093|pure_url=yes}} |title=Windward Passages [1993]|author=Scott Yanow|access-date=2007-02-02}}</ref>
