It isn’t everyday we have the opportunity to see Jean Luc Ponty together with the likes of guitarist Al DiMeola and bassist Stanley Clarke, but the stars aligned in 1994 at The Montreux Jazz Festival. The video below featuring their performance of Renaissance is merely one example. Their landmark appearance was eventually made into both a CD and a DVD.
Here is Ponty with Dr. L. Subramaniam in 2003, live at The Gateway of India. Billy Cobham is on drums and the tune is called Conversations. Whether labeled jazz-rock or fusion, their music is frantic and it’s fun!
