Ola Kvernberg Trio: Folk
by John Kelman

Folk is the follow-up to the trio's 2006 Jazzland debut, Night Driver, and the same loose interplay is on display, but with greater confidence and depth--the clear result ...
Jean-Luc Ponty: Electric Connection / King Kong
by John Kelman
Having already released King Kong: Jean-Luc Ponty Plays the Music of Frank Zappa (Pacific Jazz, 1969) as part of its remastered reissue of Blue Note's 1976 two-disc compilation, Cantaloupe Island (BGO, 2006), which brought together King Kong and The Jean-Luc Ponty Experience with The George Duke Trio (World Pacific, 1969), it's a little curious that England's ...

Jean-Luc Ponty: Strong As Ever
by R.J. DeLuke
As a violinist in the changing music world of the 1960s and 1970s, Jean-Luc Ponty was it. He was a pioneer on the instrument, plugging in to be heard with screeching guitars and blaring horns. He not only had the chops-busting harmonic and rhythmic language of bebop down pat, but he had virtuoso abilities from his ...

Jean-Luc Ponty: The Acatama Experience
by John Kelman
It's been six years since Jean-Luc Ponty last released a studio disc. Contrasting with the more heavily produced Life Enigma (JLP, 2001), The Acatama Experience places greater emphasis on the violinist's working band. It's also a record that consolidates his early years as a straight-ahead player with his 1970s fusion and later forays into funk and ...
