Product Description

CD Description

Arguably Jean-Luc Ponty's finest record, ENIGMATIC OCEAN benefits from the two-pronged attack of Ponty's engrossing violin playing and guitarist Allan Holdsworth's equally majestic command of his own six-string and its accompanying devices. Compositionally, the tracks move from fast and furious fusion to moments of blissful restraint.
The lovely "Nostalgic Lady" features Holdsworth in peak form, colouring in the foreground with pastel shades of guitar synth, while former Journey drummer Steve Smith caresses Ponty's sultry violins with graceful strokes to cymbal and snare. The multi-part title track soars on spacey beds of synthesizer, guitar, and drums. As Ponty's rhythmic foil, Smith has never been better,and reveals himself as one of the finest drummers to have emerged from '70s fusion. Enigmatic arrangements and enigmatic playing make Ponty's OCEAN the perfect balm for mind and soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fusion Milestone, 5 Oct 2007
By R. Faulds (Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Every now and then elements come together to create something special. This is a prime example. Some of Ponty's best compositions feature, played by a killer band. Ralphe Armstong, arguably Ponty's funkiest ever bass player, locks down the bottom end with the young Steve Smith on drums and provides a rock solid basis for the front line to blow over. Bringing in Allan Holdsworth (who never toured with Ponty) was an inspired move which only serves to drive regular guitarist Daryl Sturmer to greater heights. It isn't all flash though - as I say, the tunes work well in context even if mid 70s pitch wheel antics from keyboardist Allan Zavod have dated a bit. Did I mention the violin playing? Never better! All in all, great stuff and it sounds as if all concerned had a ball.
