These 1964 sessions marked jazz violinist Jean-Luc Ponty's recording
debut as a leader. In spite of his choice of instrument, he was mainly
influenced by bop musicians (especially saxophonists and trumpeters)
rather than fellow Frenchmen, swing violinist Stéphane Grappelli. At
this stage in his career, he chose mostly compositions by European
musicians of his generation, along with tunes American jazz compositions
that had stood the test of time. His angular playing in Martial Solal's
"Une Nui Au Violon" contrasts with his later venture into jazz fusion,
while his dash through Charlie Parker's "Au Privave" is almost
immediately halted to first showcase drummer Daniel Humair then flautist
Michel Portal before he takes center-stage with a blazing solo. He also
is quite comfortable in a ballad setting, with a warm treatment of
Django Reinhardt's "Manoir de Mes Reves," though it is on his own turf,
as it isn't played anything like Grappelli's recording with the
legendary guitarist. The violinist's sole original is "YTNOP Blues,"
which opens with a pizzicato vamp then showcases bassist Guy Pedersen
and pianist Eddy Louiss before Ponty finally opens things up with a
slash-and-burn solo that evokes a bit of Stuff Smith influence for a
moment. The only misfire is a dull treatment of "I Want to Talk About
You" which is plagued by Louiss' dated sounding organ. Reissued as a
part of the Jazz in Paris series in 2000, this valuable introduction to
Jean-Luc Ponty has already lapsed from print. by Ken Dryden
