Very awesome, at age 15 and 16, listening to Cosmic Messenger then Enigmatic Ocean and teaching me the concept of no boundaries in my own music... Jean Luc was one of my first musical idols, this was around 1977, 1978. I remember in High School, nobody had ever heard of Jean Luc's music.... Once I owed my pot dealer some money for weed and I didn't have any money, so I gave him a brand new cassette of "Cosmic Messenger." The next day I asked him, his name was Buzz, I asked him how he liked the cassette. He just closed his eyes and said "It's pretty good man!" Wooo!!! To this day I still listen to Enigmatic Ocean and Cosmic Messenger on headphones while walking and I try to tell as many people as I could about his music. I was honored to get his autograph in Hillsboro Oregon, at a bookstore, Clara was doing a CD live show, where she was selling and promoting one of her music CD's. He didn't know I was heavily influenced by his jazz rock music so much, I was so nervous, but I appreciated him signing one of his live DVD's. His daughters must be proud of him, I know that's an understatement but wow, this is an incredible trio!A Jean Luc fan.

God bless your family. I have been a fan since 1975 and still love your music and the way it touches my soul. Thank you Jean -Luc for many years of beautiful spiritual music.!!

Bestowed a gift and talent shared to millions, he is a musical treasure. I first heard his music like 45 yrs ago and never heard a violin played in the jonre, simply he made the violin cool. Lovely to see his daughters developed in their own right in music and art, I will look for their work whilst enjoying the timeless genius of Jon luc pointy.

Sometime the best musicians are also the best human beings. JLP continues to be a model and inspiration to me, a dad of 2 daughters also, and to so many others.

Thank you Jean Luc, for a lot of magical momentes, and romantics and alucination feelings for your music. I saw you all the times when you were in Chile to play concerts. Your family is very interesting and lovely.

Both Clara and Eva Ponty speak GREAT ENGLISH!!!

[@drdivine44]

I think they mainly grew up in California so that's not really a big surprise. ;-) JLP is a good dude indeed and has been very warm to me in my interactions with him online and in person.
