"I am a long time Ponty fan, having seen him play live with both the Mahavishnu Orchestra (awesome, to say the least) and his own band - that is, one of the early bands he led post-Mahavishnu (he always plays with a lot of different musicians - not a set group).I have all of Jean-Luc's albums, and this one is my favorite because it is so upbeat and the playing is incredibly tight. These guys ROCK! There's nothing like opening up the sunroof and cruisin' down the highway of life with this CD kickin' you in the pants! The recording is a bit too compressed, however, so you must be extra generous in dialing up the bass response if you really want to blow your trunk lid open (ha!). Enjoy!"

FULL of ENERGY!.

"I have all Jean-Luc Ponty albums inlcuding the 4 official live concerts. All are masterpieces indid. This one, "Storytelling" is the perfect JLP resume.



Every time I listen to this "Storytelling" album I visualize JLP in my mind walking and smiling while he plays his violin. He makes his violin sings like when a kid plays with his toy. Like if he were saying "Playing a violin is kids stuff". I mean, JLP really really enjoys playing his violin and makes me feel it.



No matter what, every time I listen to "After the Storm" track I transfer myself to the perfect mood. Full of energy!, and very positive.



Yes, go and get this "Storytelling" masterpiece album. It will help you write out your own memories.
