2001 CD Universal International 548150

Recorded June and July 1964 in Paris.



I have to own up to not being familiar with the work of Ponty, before hearing this recording, yes I must have been living under a stone! When this album was recorded he was just 22 years of age and his playing is a sensation. With Stephane Grappelli to signpost the way, I guess it was always obvious that the next genius of the jazz violin would come from that country. Ponty to me seems to have picked up where the old master left off and made giant steps within just a few years. His playing has great warmth, he has massive technical ability and he seems to have absorbed the work of the jazz masters and produced a style of his own. The influence of the better side of John Coltrane's playing can also be heard here on this 1961 recording.

The selection of the programme is also excellent, the work of several French composers are included with Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie and the interest never fades. The band fits together very well and you have the feeling of a session everyone was enjoying their work and giving it 100%.

Highly recommended.
