Album Review
Jean-Luc Ponty, who at the time was still with the second version of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, is heard playing his own brand of fusion on this excellent recording. Upon the Wings of Music set the standard for his music of the next decade. With keyboardist Patrice Rushen, Dan Sawyer or Ray Parker on guitars, bassist Ralphe Armstrong and drummer Ndugu, the violinist performs eight of his highly arranged but spirited originals. His early Atlantic recordings (of which this is the first) remain underrated for their important contributions to the history of fusion.
Customer Reviews
Bluesy, jazzy, funky and sweet
This is one of the funkiest jazz fusion albums that JLP has produced. From the first song to the last, the compositions are consistently strong and take the listener through every possible mood. "Upon the Wings of Music", "Question With No Answer", "Now I Know" and "Waving Memories" are the highlights of the album; these songs make buying the entire album worth the money. However, the rest of the songs definitely deserve your attention.
