Jean-Luc Ponty - Life Enigma (Vinyl)

Life Enigma, originally released in 2001, stands as a testament to the genius of the French violinist, Jean Luc Ponty. This groundbreaking album seamlessly blends jazz, fusion, and world music, showcasing Ponty's virtuosity and innovative spirit. Seven years after his previous studio album No Absolute Time, Life Enigma showed that Ponty was "up to the task of carrying the spirit of fusion into the new millennium instead of just mining the same old spent lodes." (Todd Jenkins/All About Jazz)The compositions on Life Enigma transcend genres, creating an immersive sonic experience that has captivated audiences worldwide. "This was a very special project because of the work I did with sound colors and atmospheres in addition to the spontaneity of our improvised solos", says Ponty about the album that was described as "one of Jean-Luc Ponty's most compelling releases." (Ken Dryden/Allmusic.com). Besides his amazing band he also plays a great number of instruments himself experimenting with a multi-layered electronic approach that includes synthesizers and an electronic MIDI violin.TracklistTwo Thousand-One Years AgoSignals From Planet EarthThe Infinite Human CaravanLonely Among AllFirmamentPizzy CatLife EnigmaEven The Sun Will DieLove At Last SightAnd Life Goes On
