This band from Texas took their name from the Jean-Luc Ponty album.

A super lp!! I also recommend Broselmaschine  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K1kPsDgeQ8
and also Emtidi 'Saat' lps  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3QAffk8qD8

Both excellent examples of Germanic acid-folk, quirky, a bit 'out there' but absolute Jewels..

Hasn't anyone mentioned Anderson Ponty Band yet?

Their first CD is pleasant, but hardly ground-breaking.  (I was a Kickstarter contributor).

I went through all five pages and didn't see Flying Island mentioned.
They were a jazz fusion band active in the mid seventies putting out two LPs:
Self titled in 1975
Another Kind Of Space in 1976

Anyone mentioned Amon Duul yet? Chris Karrer's (IIRC) violin contributions are great.

I'm going to assume that someone, in the previous 5 pages has mentioned one Wilf Gibson and ELO and the greatest violin solo in rock history..Clap  if I looked through here and didn't see it mentioned.. I'd likely start revoking some prog cards. Angry

A great new discovery- Pandora Snail.   http://https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pandora+snail  Old favorites - The Dixie Dregs, Kansas, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jean Luc Ponty, Curved Air. King Crimson.  Probably leaving out some...

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
