Renowned French violinist Jean Luc Ponty's masterpiece Life Enigma is set to captivate a new generation of music enthusiasts as it gets a well-deserved reissue by the legendary jazz label MPS. Originally released in 2001, the album has stood the test of time, showcasing Ponty's virtuosity and innovative approach to jazz fusion. Accompanying Ponty on Life Enigma are some of the finest musicians in the industry, including keyboardist William Lecomte, bassist Guy Nsangué Akwa, guitarist Thierry Arpino, and percussionist Moustapha Cissé. Together, they create a dynamic and cohesive sound that could be mistaken for upcoming bands from today. The music on this album reaches from electronic drum beats to latin rhythms and percussion, all accompanied by Ponty's flawless virtuosity on the violin. Born in 1942, the French violinist transported jazz violin playing into the world of modern jazz. On Frank Zappa’s urging, Ponty moved to the States in 1970. Over the next years he toured with Zappa, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Chick Corea’s “Return to Forever” and collaborated with many other greats, from George Duke to Elton John.
