•   Jean~Luc Ponty v roce 1959 nehrál s Kurtem Edelhagenem. Z elektronických efektů, použitých na této nahrávce je pravděpodobné, že bude z období let 1966 až 1968. V osobním rozhovoru v roce 2002 mi Ken Dryden řekl, že se neúčastnil na posledních třech skladbách, ani samotná hra nezní jako on. Existuje také trapná spojka ve skladbě 1 (Concerto For Jazz Violin And Orchestra), objevující se ve všech následných revizích tohoto neoficiálního vydání.
•   I přes vložené poznámky mějte na paměti, že pouze první strana představuje Jean Luc~Pontyho společně Edelhagenovým Big Bandem! Další tři skladby (strana B) NEJSOU vybaveny, resp. vůbec nepředstavují Jean~Luc Pontyho, ale místo něj Stéphane Grappellim, z naprosto nepolehlivého a obskurního zdroje! Tyto informace mi telefonicky potvrdil management J.L. Pontyho.

VIOLINS:

♠≡      JLP also still plays his wood finish 5~string electro~acoustic violin with a low C string made for him by Barcus~Berry in California in 1980, as well as his blue 5~string model also made by Barcus~Berry in 1978, as seen on the cover of the album “A Taste For Passion” from 1979. These are vintage instruments no longer in production.
♠≡      For live acoustic formats JLP plays a 5~string model made in 2005 by Eric Aceto at Ithaca Strings that can also be played completely acoustic without using the pickup.
VIOLIN BOW:
♠≡      JLP uses violin bows by Benoit Rolland made of composite material with a unique system allowing players to adjust the tension and balance of the stick according personal needs. JLP’s favorite is a bow mounted with the new revolutionary Galliane frog which Benoit invented recently. Benoît is a very talented bow maker who lives in the Boston area www.benoitrolland.com.
STRINGS:
♠≡      JLP’s violins are equipped with Helicore medium tension strings by D’Addario.
