Jean–Luc Ponty Electric Fusion “The Atlantic Years” Tour
Forums:
looking forward to this... hope to see a few of you mutants at the Rio.
Jean-Luc Ponty is headed to stages across the U.S. in late spring and early summer. The legendary French violinist begins “The Atlantic Years” tour with a May 30 show in Portland, Ore.
The tour’s name is a nod to the band accompanying Ponty on the road, who recorded several albums with the artist for Atlantic Records in the late ’70s and ’80s. Ponty will be backed by Wally Minko on keyboards, Jamie Glaser on guitar, Rayford Griffin on drums, and Baron Browne on bass.

JLP! LOVE this musician and his music. Listened to him a lot in the 1970's. Saw him a few times - always a big sound. Very transportational music.

right on, 6. Only saw him once (mid-eighties) at a pretty good sized shed (Concord Pavilion)... probably the most I've heard him otherwise is on Zappa tracks.

I saw Ponty in a trio with Stanley Clarke and Bela Fleck once in a smallish theatre. Three frickin' virtuosos just dishing it out left and right. Like Heaven, man!

1st found Ponty through his brief association with Zappa. Listened to a lot at college in the early 80's. Sex, rugs and Jean Luc Ponty worked real well in 1982.
