Jean Luc Ponty "Mirage"


Another great Jean Luc Ponty song found on a whim.  This is his tune, "Mirage" as it was performed in 1982 at the Montreal Jazz Festival.  Ponty's band for this show, was a quintet.  It featured:

Jean Luc Ponty: violin
Allan Zivod: keyboards
Jamie Glaser: guitar
Keith Jones: bass
Rayford Griffin: drums

Incidentally, trumpeter Clifford Brown was Rayford Griffin's uncle.  Griffin got the chance to play with many of his heroes including Ponty, Stanley Clarke, George Duke, and Lee Ritenour, just to name a few.
