"Cosmic Messenger"

The title is off Jean-Luc Ponty's "Cosmic Messenger" a 1978 Release out of Atlantic Recording and it features Ralph Armstrong on basses; Allan Zavod on keyboards; Casey Scheurell on drums & percussion; and Peter Maunu and Joaquin Lievano playing guitars.  Both Jean-Luc and Ralph "played" with John McLaughlin so ~~~~   I NEED to listen to Jean-Luc  he plays an Electric FIVE String Violin that makes my Soul SOAR.  His Cohorts are IMPECCABLE,, such is the True Nature of their Music Virtuoso.  Music as Virtue .

The 3rd Tract "Dont Let The World Pass You By"  is a Race For Life in which Ralph's Bass anchors you to a Reality of Universal Heart Beat, at timeS almost measured, a Reality of DIZZYING speed and INVISIBLE Infatuations signaled by Allan's fingerings.  However, it is at "Hold On For Your Life", where Jean-Luc enters with "This Aint NOTHIN' ".   He manifests HIS Reality, a One of Symphonic Credulity, the One of Singular Emphasis on Drawn Out Sensation, The One of Healing Excision, the One of Utmost Severity where Beauty Herself is Experienced as Heard. 

Now Beauty as Virtue,  Naked, Excited and Free...
