These albums originally appeared in 1969 in the UK on the
Liberty/World Pacific Jazz label and are now appearing
for the first time as a double CD on Gottdiscs. 'Electric
Connection'was produced by Richard Bock, who was
connected production-wise with many Ravi Shankar
recordings. 'King Kong'was produced by Frank Zappa
It has been a long, fascinating odyssey for Jean-Luc
Ponty, who started out as a straight jazz violinist only
to become a pioneer of the electric violin in jazz-rock
in the '70s and an inspired manipulator of sequencers and
synthesizers in the '80s. At first merely amplifying his
violin in order to be heard, he switched over to electric
violin and augmented it with devices that were associated
with electric guitarists and keyboardists, like Echoplex
machines, distortion boxes, phase shifters, and wah-wah
pedals.
Review of 'Electric Connection'from AMG: "The innovative
violinist Jean-Luc Ponty was making a strong impression
in the United States in 1969, a year in which he made
four notable American recordings that solidified his
reputation a few years before he formed his own fusion
band. For this little-known effort, Ponty is joined by a
big band arranged by Gerald Wilson and including pianist
George Duke (an important early collaborator), altoist
Bud Shank, flutist Tony Ortega and guitarist Wilbert
Longmire."
Review of 'King Kong'from AMG: "Not just an album of
interpretations, 'King Kong: Jean-Luc Ponty Plays the
Music of Frank Zappa'was an active collaboration; Frank
Zappa arranged all of the selections, played guitar on
one, and contributed a new, nearly 20- minute orchestral
composition for the occasion. Made in the wake of Ponty's
appearance on Zappa's jazz-rock masterpiece 'Hot Rats',
these 1969 recordings were significant developments in
both musicians'careers. In terms of jazz-rock fusion
Zappa was one of the few musicians from the rock side of
the equation who captured the complexity - not just the
feel - of jazz, and this project was an indicator of his
growing credibility as a composer."
