He recorded the superb violin line for Frank Zappa's 'It Must Be A Camel' for the "Hot Rats" album.
One year later, in 1970, Jean-Luc released "King Kong", an album on which he performed Frank Zappa's music.
A couple of years later, Jean-Luc even joined Zappa's band, next to one of his early musical buddies, George Duke. This resulted in a.o. "Over-Nite Sensation" and "Apostrophe (')".
Jean-Luc Ponty and his band will be bringing their “Atlantic Years” tour to the US beginning late May 2017!
Jean Luc Ponty is a pioneer and undisputed master of the violin in the arena of jazz and rock. He is widely regarded as an innovator who has applied his unique visionary spin that has expanded the vocabulary of modern music.
Says Jean Luc, “We're calling it 'The Atlantic Years' tour since I am touring with my band from the late 70's - 80's with whom I recorded several albums for Atlantic Records.”
