Hi Folks,
Someone had requested this FZ & Jean-Luc Ponty performance from Festival
de Valbonne on the 25th of July, 1970, so I paired it up with sides 3 and 4
of JABFLA.
Details below - Come and get it!

Frank Zappa & Jean-Luc Ponty
Festival de Valbonne
July 25th, 1970
source: audience recording
1. tuning up (1:21)
2. jam 1 (16:04)
3. King Kong (17:22)
4. jam 2 (8:09)
5. jam 3 (3:40)

The Valbonne festival was organised by Claude Rousseau, who had organised
the Bourget festival (near Paris) the previous March.
The programme, as announced in late June, was as follows :
July 23rd : Iron Butterfly, Warm Dust, Swegas & Moving Gelatine Plates
July 24th : Gong, Brigitte Fontaine, Amon Duul II & Red Noise
July 25th : Zappa/Ponty, King Harvest & Ame Son
It seemed like it was going to be a great Summer for lovers of rock
music,
with no less than three major festivals announced in the South of France for
late July and early August : in addition to Valbonne, there was another one
in Aix-en-Provence on August 1st-3rd, organised by trendy fashion designer
Jean Bouquin, as well as the follow-up to the 1969 Amougies festival by Jean
Karakos, in Biot, beginning on August 5th.
However, around mid July it all went wrong : all three festivals were
banned by the authorities, who used the risk of forest fires as an excuse.
In the event, they did go ahead, but in this pre-Internet age lack of
reliable information ensured that attendance was well below expectations,
and that the promoters lost a lot of money. Many bands weren't paid or
refused to play, and in the case of Biot the event ended prematurely,
degenerating into a riot.
The Zappa/Ponty jam was expected to be the highlight of Valbonne. However
it didn't turn out quite as planned either. According to Ponty, Zappa was
supposed to come with the new incarnation of the Mothers of Invention, but
turned up on his own, Amougies-style ! A pick-up band had to be assembled at
short notice, and the duo ended up sharing the stage with two noted French
jazz players, drummer Aldo Romano and bassist Alby Cullaz.
As far as I know, this is the first time this performance has been heard
since the event. Once again, we have the intrepid JJB to thank for
preserving the moment for posterity. Amougies was the beginning of his
taping exploits; Valbonne was the end - and what an end it was !
(Technical note: the sound quality on this is significantly better than
the Amougies recording - JJB had upgraded his recording equipment in the
meantime)
