Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by deeply layered synthesizers and Ponty's signature heavily effected electric violin, 'Cosmic Messenger' is a high-water mark for melodic jazz-rock. The fluid, complex compositions successfully crossed over to a substantial pop and progressive rock audience in the late seventies.
