Having trained as a classical musician before finding fame with Frank Zappa’s Mothers Of Invention and John McLaughlin’s Mahavishnu Orchestra, by 1975 the French virtuoso Jean-Luc Ponty was firmly established as rock’s foremost violinist. Taped for broadcast on Chicago’s WXRT-FM, this superb set trailed the May 1975 release of his landmark Upon The Wings Of Music LP, and finds him backed by Daryl Stuermer (guitar), Mike Wolf (keyboards), Tom Fowler (bass) and Norman Fearrington (drums). It’s presented here complete with background notes and images.
