Jean-Luc PONTY

"Life Enigma" is a return to the musical style Ponty perfected during his decade-long stint with Atlantic Records, including his two most commercially popular albums, 1977's "Enigmatic Ocean" and 1978's "Cosmic Messenger". Many songs on the album are complete solo performances on which Ponty played several instruments.

Other tracks feature new and longtime Ponty band members including keyboardist William Lecomte, bassist Guy Nsangue Akwa, drummer Thierry Arpino and percussionist Moustapha Cisse.
