Jean-Luc Ponty (born September 29, 1942, Avranches, France) is a French violinist. He started on violin at the age of five, taught by his father (the Director of the School of Music in Avranches), while his mother tutored him on piano. At 15, he was accepted into the Paris Conservatoire, and ultimately won the "Premier Prix" at age 17. A stint in the "Concerts Lamoureux Orchestra" for three years ensued, during which he became interested in jazz (playing it first on the clarinet and tenor sax). Ponty visited the for the first time in 1967, at a Monterey Jazz Festival workshop. He signed with a record label, and began working with an "unknown" pianist, George Duke. Through the label, Jean-Luc met FZ, who had been hired to arrange his music for Ponty's next album. This arrangement led to Jean-Luc providing violin for Hot Rats, and to his touring with Frank in '70 & '73. Along with Hot Rats, Ponty provided violin and/or baritone violin for Over-Nite Sensation, Apostrophe ('), Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar set, You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 6, and The Lost Episodes; also for the Beat The Boots series disks Piquantique (BTB) & Disconnected Synapses (BTB). FZ and Jean-Luc Ponty ended their relationship on less than friendly terms; though it would appear that their relationship was beneficial for both. Jean-Luc became a pioneer of the electric violin in jazz-rock in the '70s, augmenting it with devices associated with Zappa: like echoplex, distortion boxes, phase shifters, and wah-wah pedals. There are other parallels: (from an interview in "le jazz" (webzine), 4/22/1997, by Alain Le Roux) Ponty - "Improvisation is sometimes equal and often greater [than composing]. What I write is actually improvised, since I improvise the material first...in my own productions since the 1980's, I use the synclavier. I record some ideas immediately, digitally, in the synclavier, then I come back later and add other layers on top, and so on. Of course there are some sections left open for [even more]] improvisation." In 2015 Ponty collaborated with Jon Anderson from the band Yes. See also Tracey Ullman. "King Kong" (LP, Pacific Jazz ST 20172, May 25, 1970) External links Wikipedia:Jean-Luc Ponty Ponty was born into a family of classical musicians in Avranches, France. His father taught violin, his mother taught piano. His father taught violin, his mother taught piano. At sixteen, he was admitted to the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris , graduating two years later with the institution's highest honor, Premier Prix This album is probably the most important cornerstone in Ponty’s career, in that it’s both the turning point that gave him a visibility his previous work in mainstream Jazz would have never made possible, and the opportunity to escape the growing pressures that wanted to push him into commercial music. The source of Ponty’s breakthrough was the mutual admiration he developed with Zappa; the former saw Zappa’s sophisticated music as a serious alternative to the mainstream simplicity he was being coerced to experiment with, whereas the first thing the latter did after hearing a Ponty record was to invite him to play in “Hot Rats”; Zappa was so interested in Ponty’s mix of classical background and ability to improvise, and impressed by his work with the then unknown George Duke, that when the violinist’s producer asked him if he’d like to arrange some of his music for Ponty’s next album, he had the charts ready in 2 or 3 weeks time. The result was this mind-blowing and unique album in Ponty’s career, deeply Zappa-esque in its esthetics, fed by the unconditional support of a batch of musicians experienced in diversified areas, but whose guiding lights are Ponty’s virtuoso playing and a progressive vision of music no one had ever tried to adapt to the violin. The opening title track features George Duke fluid playing and some wild electric piano bashing and Ponty definitely galvanized by the group’s fervor – Gene Estes vibes & percussion, Buell Neidlinger bass, Arthur D. Tripp III drums and Ian Underwood tenor sax . Then the group goes through some changes and, except for “Music for Electric Violin and Low Budget Orchestra”, stabilizes from “Idiot Bastard Son” onwards with Wilton Felder on bass, John Guerin drums and Ernie Watts alto & tenor saxes, and Ponty soars in the splendid mix of drama and joy conveyed by the piece; on “20 Small Cigars” Ponty’s baritone violectra and Watts tenor blend arrestingly, waving in and out of each other, dramatic laments pursued in the solo atop a soothing arrangement of atmospheric e-piano chords and swishing cymbals; The violinist does a great job on his sole original “How Would You Like to Have a Head Like That” (a Jazz inflected piece that would have fitted in perfectly on Zappa’s debut), with intense and wild flights and runs all over the violin, whereas Watts tenor alternates between Funk and Coltrane-esque and Zappa leaves his sole and glorious instrumental contribution in a typically ruminative Hot Rats styled solo. With Ian Underwood conducting a ten-men ensemble, and clocking at almost 20 minutes “Music for Electric Violin and Low Budget Orchestra” is the album’s tour-de-force; a complex and intricate piece, flirting with chamber and avant-garde stylistics, opening delicately with a bassoon motif, soon filled with contrapunctual work by the oboe and the French horns, than cello, viola, violin and percussions , where Ponty offers some of his most brilliant and detached, melancholic and vicious work , and where there’s space for a great acoustic piano solo, a piece that alternates between pastoral and creepy, meanders through free-tempo parts, enharmonic battles, dissonant sketches, multiple meter and tempo changes, goes from lyrical to tenebrous with devilish intervals, free instincts and controlled cacophony, ringing e-piano, violent sax and percussive outbursts, rhapsodic or martial sequences, all in all an intense and inspired cinematic activity that never tires. The brief “America Drinks and Goes Home” closes in a festive mix of cabaret and barrel-house like vibes, interspersed with intricate portions of brilliant polyrhythmic craze, and joyfully leaving the doors wide open for the French phenomenon to enrapture the World.
