"... an unexpectedly freewheeling session ... powerfully influenced by John Coltrane, whose sax marathons Ponty often seems to emulate on violin. This formidable ensemble can be fiercely hard-grooving and boldly exploratory. It sounds of its time, but it was a good time for Ponty ..."
- The Guardian
Jean-Luc Ponty almost single-handedly brought the violin into the modern jazz era. Open Strings, recorded in 1971, presents Ponty at his pre-fusion best: after working together for over a year, this quintet of world-renowned musicians plays on the creative edge, notably German pianist Joachim Kühn who displays his technical mastery, sense of humour and sheer inventiveness.The three parts of Flipping form a triptych of connected pieces with ever-changing tempos, moods and modes, as the musicians exchange places and combinations.
