Jean Luc Ponty is a pioneer and undisputed master of violin in both jazz and rock.  More than any other single musician, this revolutionary figure has defined the role of his instrument in contemporary jazz.  Ponty has expanded the vocabulary of modern music with his mastery of explosive, bright and exceptionally warm violin lines that has made him the premier jazz violinist for the past three decades.  “No single musician has ever combined classical composition, jazz improvisation, funky bass and delivered it in a high energy rock context like Jean Luc Ponty has.”  New York Times

Jean Luc brings his quartet to Austin Friday November 13, 2009 for Two shows: 7:00pm and 9:30pm Tickets available at One World Theatre
