Description
Jean-Luc Ponty (born 29 September 1942) is a French jazz fusion violinist and composer.
In 1969 Frank Zappa composed the music for Ponty's solo album King Kong. Within a year – at the urging of Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention who wanted him to join their tour – Ponty emigrated with his wife and two young daughters to the United States and made his home in Los Angeles. He continued to work on a variety of projects – including two of John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra albums Apocalypse (1974) and Visions of the Emerald Beyond (1974) and tours until 1975, when he signed on as a solo artist with Atlantic Records.
For the next decade Ponty toured the world repeatedly and recorded 12 consecutive albums, becoming the most famous violinist jazz fusion
