Jean-Luc Ponty – In Concert (2-LP Vinyl)

Jean-Luc Ponty spent the late 1960s and early 1970s rewriting the rulebook for what a violin could do in jazz, bridging the acoustic tradition of Stéphane Grappelli with the electric possibilities that fusion was just beginning to explore. Captured live, Ponty is a different animal entirely, his phrasing more daring, the interplay more combustible, the whole thing driven by the same restless energy that made him a singular voice across genres.
