Notes:
Note: Jean-Luc Ponty was not playing with Kurt Edelhagen in 1959. From the electronic effects used on this recording, it is likely to be from circa 1966 to 1968. He told Ken Dryden (2) in a 2002 personal interview that he was not on the last three tracks, nor does it sound like his playing. There is also an awkward splice in track one that appears on all subsequent reissues of this unofficial release. IMPORTANT!: despite the liner notes, please take note that only side one features the violinist with Edelhagen's big band! The three other tracks do NOT feature Jean-Luc Ponty at all but Stéphane Grappelli instead, totally uncredited and from an obscure source! This information were confirmed to me by phone by J.L. Ponty's management.
