Cosmic Messengerby: Jean-Luc Ponty October 25, 1990 Best Selling > Music > Violin |

These enchanting sounds are made up of electric base, guitars, piano and violin, plus organ, drums, percussion, synthesizers and acoustic guitars. The sound ranges from orchestral and ambient to funky and jazzy. The music impresses with its varied textures, like the bubbly, rhythmic track The Art Of Happiness that is followed by the more ethereal Don't Let The World Pass You By with its urgent rhythm against a mellow background of synths, or the gentle, evocative I Only Feel Good With You. Puppet's Dance has a jazzy texture, whilst the gentle Ethereal Mood creates just that with its beautiful melody. The album concludes with Egocentric Molecules which has a full and powerful rock sound driven by electric guitar. The virtuosity ... Read More: >>More Details |

Every now and then elements come together to create something special. This is a prime example. Some of Ponty's best compositions feature, played by a killer band. Ralphe Armstong, arguably Ponty's funkiest ever bass player, locks down the bottom end with the young Steve Smith on drums and provides a rock solid basis for the front line to blow over. Bringing in Allan Holdsworth (who never toured with Ponty) was an inspired move which only serves to drive regular guitarist Daryl Sturmer to greater heights. It isn't all flash though - as I say, the tunes work well in context even if mid 70s pitch wheel antics from keyboardist Allan Zavod have dated a bit. Did I mention the violin playing? Never better! All in all, great stuff and it sounds ... Read More:

Pharaoh Saunders albums are always difficult propositions. I bought Mantra some years ago and even though I play it occasionally, the long wailing, screaming atonal passages are too much to make it more than an intermittant pleasure. It's not that I dislike it - I always have difficulty understanding why people find the likes of Albert Ayler and Ornette Coleman 'tuneless', to me their music makes perfect sense, it's just a case of accepting what they do on their own merits - it's just that it's very difficult to find a point of referenc, a bit like trying to grab hold of a fast moving river.
But I digress, though for a very good reason. Thembi is the Pharaoh Saunders record that you can listen to without an overwhelming sense that what you are doing ... Read More: >>More Details |

The violin had a bit of an image problem in rock music. Despite the best efforts of Darryl Way and Eddie Jobson in Curved Air, and that annoying Graham Smith fellow in Van Der Graaf, it could never quite shake off its associations with the school orchestra and the tedium of compulsory music lessons. Jean-Luc Ponty made the instrument cool with his participation on one of the coolest rock albums made, Frank Zappa's HOT RATS of 1970. After this brief spell in the limelight, we assumed he returned to his jazz roots, inspired by Stephan Grapelli. Then suddenly in 1976, just as jazz-rock hit its maturity, radio presenters such as Alan Freeman and Derek Jewell (on Radio Three's 'Sounds Interesting') were playing tracks from a new Ponty solo album ...
