Astrorama by Jean-Luc Ponty & Masahiko Sato, released on Liberty in 1970.

Astrorama Review by Ken Dryden

Jean-Luc Ponty recorded for a number of labels prior to his signing to Atlantic in the early '70s. He joined forces with Japanese keyboardist Masahiko Satoh, the great bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, guitarist Yoshiaki Masuo, and drummer Motohiko Hino for this studio date. "Golden Green" is best known from his 1976 meeting with Stéphane Grappelli; this longer version features Ponty's expressive violin, an understated electric piano solo by Satoh, and the virtuoso playing of Pedersen, with Masuo sitting out. Both "Astrorama" and "Nuggis" were performed by Ponty the following year at the Berlin Jazz Festival, though on this session, they are joined in a long medley..
