Jean-Luc Ponty : Individual Choice

In a retrospective interview for this re-release of the 1983 album ‘Individual Choice’, Jean-Luc Ponty said: ‘What I was recording in that new sequencer gave me the idea to go for a totally different concept, to use these recordings as rhythmic backgrounds, sometimes without drums or percussion. I planned to record a new album in which I would play all the background parts with my synthesizers and add my violin later on in the studio’. Ponty also invited a couple of guests to contribute to the recording. They were no less than George Duke (keys), Allan Holdsworth (guitar), Rayford Griffin (drums) and Randy Jackson (bass).
