Jean-Luc Ponty (born September 29, 1942) is a French violinist. Born in Avranches, France, he was trained as a professional violinist in Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris. His attraction to jazz was propelled by Miles Davis' and John Coltrane's music. He has played in the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and also with Frank Zappa. He is known for his use of the electric violin which gives him a signature, almost synthesizer-like sound.
