[@nighistybranyan5145]

I love this man music. I choreographed my daughter's wedding pictures to his music

[@yazminer9643]

My favorite violinist! He inspired me to study violin. I met him several times. Beautifully talented musician.

[@andresito6220]

After 30 years… and I’m still listening to this song!

[@NeoDon1]

ME TOO

[@wwonka52]

Saw him in Albany NY back in the 80's. Unbelievable!

[@frankie7508]

That's because jazz, especiasmooth jazz, is timeless. The bands and musicians are over-the-top. Jean is a perfect example, but there are many: Joe Sample, Chris Botti, Rick Braun, Chris Standring, and the list goes on...

[@THESTIG-cc7fq]

That unmistakable tone he has, l love the drama of his notes he is an absolute master of his craft. Long live his music wonderful.

[@jimmythebold589]

Long Live JLP! He's still around, and still playing , at age 81

[@jimmythebold589]

Rayford's drumming on this album, and on 'individual choice' is just phenomenal. the dude IS TIME, itself!

[@kughn2]

My favorite artist of all time!!! His music makes every brain synapse fire to its fullest potential.

[@felipeprado3576]

me too!!

[@rfuriati]

The Gift of Jean Luc .. Timeless !

[@georgevlavianos1401]

JLP is way much more than a musician, or teacher of music. He is a mystic.

[@jimmythebold589]

transcendental

[@uhuhuuuhhh9883]

Driving the freeways around Houston in 87 at night .Nights I'll always remember , the prime my life . Free as a bird Jean Lucs music always took me to a wonderful spiritually transcendent place of purity and joy.

[@aonoymousandy7467]

uhuhuuuhhh absolutely, this music makes you realize that there is more to life than just human on earth, it is much broader than that, we are just a species of organisms on a little rock out in the middle of no where and the sooner we realize that the better the world would be.

[@kurttoogs1378]

Jamie, thank you for all of your quality guitar work on JLPs albums!

[@RiquezaEmGotas]

Music from the Ether, it surely can elevate your thoughts and feelings showing what a exceptional musician can achieve when in tune with the universe.

[@user-bb5vv4ci7p]

This music is geared for space travel. Never gets old.

[@aonoymousandy7467]

I could imagine this song being played in the background of 2001 a space odyssey

[@toomanywhales]

this song in specific is very Earth-centric, but I can definitely see myself walking around a sci fi space station while i'm listening to cosmic messenger! haha

[@graciaarmada7950]

My heart just melted...no one can ever duplicate JLP's music.

[@RiquezaEmGotas]

Unbelievably fast sequence of notes with changing harmonies towards the end, this can only be achieved by a master musician, thank you for your wonderful music JLP.

[@frankie7508]

Powerful. Compelling. And if If time was music, then this would be it. What a gift to be able to create and play music such as this; Truly one of the masters. Thank you for the gift of this outstanding music. And, I hope you are well also receiving the gift of time. God bless and take care. 👍 👍 👍

[@aprilshepard8662]

You can tell his bandmates enjoy making great great music which they do and they work so well together. I’ve been listening to him since I was a kid. Long live Jean-Luc Ponty and his great music into the future

I had no idea there was even a video for this track.

[@dtyronelectric]

Jean Luc is frickin awesome! Oh,and his bandmates too! All of them have it together! I have this album on cassette. Although the sound level that the album was produced on, needs to be a bit more higher.. just need a serious hifi system to fully appreciate this music! Anyway, GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!

[@dayondastribling1396]

Cassette?!?

[@dtyronelectric]

@@dayondastribling1396 yes. This album was produced in the mid 1980s while cassette tapes were still popular! Can't find a good working cassette player. So I bought this album on Compact disk.

[@jimmythebold589]

biggest violin sound, ever. it's interesting to see how, on his firstseveral albums, that bigger than life sound wasn't there, in spite of the amazing compositions. it wasn't until 'cosmic messenger' that he got that HUGE crazy sound. and the sound just keeps getting bigger , and more natural, on each subsequent album
