Our Take

Ah, Jean-Luc Ponty, the man who puts the "electric" in electric violin. His latest offering, "Individual Choice," is a rollercoaster ride through the funky, futuristic world of jazz fusion.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a neon-lit dance floor where synths pulse and basslines throb. Ponty's virtuoso playing is front and centre, weaving effortlessly between soaring melodies and intricate solos. It's like watching a mad scientist at work, mixing jazz, funk, and electronica in his musical laboratory.

Tracks like "Eulogy to Oscar Romero" and "In Spiritual Love" are a masterclass in mood-setting, each note dripping with emotion and intensity. On the other hand, "Open Mind" and "Modern Times Blues" channel a more playful, almost cheeky vibe that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in no time.

While some may find Ponty's fusion of styles a bit overwhelming at times, one thing is for sure - this album is a wild ride that's not for the faint of heart. Strap in, turn up the volume, and let Jean-Luc Ponty take you on a musical journey like no other. Individual Choice? More like an individual masterpiece.
