Biography

Jean-Luc Ponty (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃lyk pɔ̃ti]; born 29 September 1942) is a French jazz and jazz fusion violinist and composer. He is considered a pioneer of jazz-rock, particularly for his use of the electric violin starting in the 1970s. He rose to prominence for his collaborations with popular musical artists Frank Zappa and Elton John.
