calm seas, yet slow uprisings below it. A Yin and Yang, a climactic buildup. Gosh I miss sex in the 70s and early 80s before Disco arrived. What this song did in college. Just snapped me back to my meditative and more peaceful moods. Wat Thai on sunday for a refreshing does of buddhism too. Thank you for posting this. One of the girls I hung out with in college exposed me to JLP.
In case it hasn't been posted here yet, Ponty is touring with Return to Forever and the concert date were just announced. You can go to Return to Forever's web site for dates.
@karlmoles65 One of the first to incorporate synth sequencers into fusion jazz. and take the electric midi violin with it. Introducing a world of emmense vibratory electronic arpeggio sweeps worthy of cosmic interest.!
Newday you don't know me vewwy well. First off: I instinctively gravitate to an artist's LEAST popular tracks - I don't know why, been that way since I've been listening to music. And I have a Jean Luc Gem for you: "Art Of Happiness". This thing spins heads no matter what event I play it at.
Know who Paul Davis was? "Cool Night", "Do Right", stuff he was known for? Well, "65 Love Affair" does for me what none of his other works does. Weird. Guess I was born *different*.
Cool! Still, I can't understand a Paul Davis anthology without '65 Love Affair on it. That song charted higher and stayed longer than the other ones I mentioned back in 1981.
Considered to be his best. For those who like it, I won't disagree, but allow yourself to test the whole body of work. The best place to sample is the 'Le Voyage; CD, but he did play on another label as well, that is hARDER TO FIND. tHE cd 'Civilized Evil' meets, &, possibly exceeds the bar set here. Check it out & enjoy.
@newday613 I have eight of his albums. This is actually yes, my favorite song from him. Civilized Evil I do not have however. Think I'll check it out though. Thanks.
From 46-47 sec it sounds as though someone lifted the needle from the record! Anywho - if you want a good intro to Jean Luc Ponty - THIS song is it. Anyone else have a Jean-Luc Ponty favorite they cannot live without?
@Zickcermacity Cosmic Messenger is still considered JLP's signature piece, but on the CD 'Civilized Evil', try 'Once A blue Planet', 'Forms of Life', & 'In Case We Survive' are excellent choices. Also, " A Taste For Passion" is also a good choice. Examine the titles & the sequence of the songs for the theme for ' A Taste For Passion'.
Its sad theres only 5821 views on this amazing song. Ozric Tenctacles and Jean Luc Ponty our by far the first jam bands to bring about the new era of music like sts9, shpongle, etc.., simply outdoes anything you hear these days. 10 out of 5 stars all day. Thanks for the upload!
I was only 15 in 1978, but I had friends had who were 17 and drove. I waas a bit ahead of my age musicly because I started playing guitar in 1973 at the age of 10.
i just discovered this guy's music after listening to him with the mahavishnu orchestra and its some of my favorite music now, what are some top albums you'd recommend of ponty?
Try anything you can find, he even plays African music, and played with Frank Zappa and George Duke usering in the jazzfusion an age in the 70s that use all intruments including Stanley Clark at lead bass. Return to Forever will give you satisfaction.
Im so happy to have found this. Space Odyssey has to be one of my favorite films of all time and Cosmic Messenger has to be one of my favorite albums of all time. Put together..... omfg.
