In 1993 Ponty found the West African rhythms he had used in his project Tchokola, so rich, that he decided to use some of them again for No Absolute Time, \" but this time meld in my more familiar musical style. I also wrote all the material myself.\" For No Absolute Time, JLP chose to use a mixed band-the same bass player, Guy Nsangue and guitarist Martin Atangana, both from Cameroon, the same percussionist Abdou Mboup from Senegal plus Sydney Thiam from France, and the Moroccan drummer Moktar Samba. Ponty prepared all the background keyboards tracks and went to Paris to record the rhythm section. The rest of the album was recorded in Los Angeles with American keyboardist Wally Minko, and guitarist Kevin Eubanks as a guest on one track. The album exudes groove and shows Ponty deftly blending the electronic music he helped popularize with a variety of West African rhythms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReleased \/ \u003cb\u003e0\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e6\/16\/2023\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIMT-5918244\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4029759182443\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eJean-Luc Ponty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eAbsolute Label Services HLDG\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre \/ \u003cb\u003eJazz\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Lasgo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40749504299069,"sku":"JAZ-P-4029759182443","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/4216869-2982687.jpg?v=1694623462"},{"product_id":"jean-luc-ponty-life-enigma","title":"Jean-Luc Ponty - Life Enigma","description":"\u003cp\u003eLife Enigma, originally released in 2001, stands as a testament to the genius of the French violinist, Jean-Luc Ponty.

He has been making award winning music for over six decades, and continues to be a force on both stage and in the recording field. 1977 was another banner year for the artist, as he produced and recorded what would become one of the biggest albums of his career, and one of the biggest progressive fusion albums of the seventies with “Enigmatic Ocean.” Featuring a fine array of powerful tracks like “Mirage” “Overture” “The Trans Love Express” as well as the amazing four part suite “Enigmatic Ocean” , this album truly was a watershed moment for the artist and for the music industry. Featuring the violinist with some of his greatest allies like the late great Allan Holdsworh on guitar, Mahavishnu Orchestra’s bassist Ralphe Johnson, superstar drummer Steve Smith from Journey, Genesis and Phil Collins guitarist extraordinaire Daryl Stuermer, plus the late great Allan Zavod on keyboards. This unit was an incredible force as you can tell from the opening riffs of Side One’s “Overture.” The album would go on to be a Number One Jazz LP and a Top 30 Pop\/Rock LP in 1977, and would further Jean-Luc Ponty’s career which continues to flourish to this day. Friday Music is very pleased to announce for the first time on vinyl in decades, the brilliance of Jean-Luc Ponty’s masterpiece “Enigmatic Ocean” Produced by the legend himself, and mastered impeccably by Joe Reagoso (Weather Report\/Mahavishnu Orchestra\/Billy Cobham\/Tommy Bolin) from the Atlantic Records recordings. For a very limited time, this masterwork will be pressed on stunning Coral Colored Vinyl, and will be featured in its original album cover art, not presented in the LP format for decades.

In Concert, recorded on October 23rd, 1999 at the Sala Kongresowa in Warsaw, Poland, is a definitive document of Jean-Luc Ponty at the absolute zenith of his creative powers. As the pioneer of the electric violin, Ponty transforms his instrument into a soaring, ethereal force that bridges the gap between classical grace and futuristic exploration. From the moment the first notes strike, you are transported into a masterclass of jazz-fusion. Backed by a powerhouse ensemble, Ponty weaves intricate, hypnotic sequences and kaleidoscopic synth textures. The tracks breathe with a raw, kinetic energy that studio recordings can rarely capture – showcasing blistering solos, complex polyrhythms, and moments of sublime, atmospheric beauty. Whether you are a longtime aficionado or a newcomer to the genre, In Concert remains an essential sonic journey. It is a testament to an artist who dared to plug in and look forward, creating a timeless masterpiece that still resonates with vibrant, electric life today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased \/ \u003cstrong\u003e07\/24\/2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cb\u003eMPSR-221124\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cstrong\u003e4029759211242\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eJean-Luc Ponty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eMPS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenre \/ \u003cstrong\u003eJazz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43358819582013,"sku":"JAZ-P-4029759211242","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/2MPSLP21124__24755.jpg?v=1784302702"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.plaidroomrecords.com\/collections\/artist-jean-luc-ponty.oembed","provider":"Plaid Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
