With his vast and profound knowledge of both Western and the Indian Classical traditions, he has been able to draw on the best of both worlds. He has received several honors, awards and titles including the coveted National Award of "Padma Bhushan" from the Government of India. Very early in his career, he was honored with the title 'Violin Chakravarthy' (emperor of the violin).

Regarded and recognised as an innovator, class instrumentalist in the field of jazz-rock, Jean Luc Ponty's bold experimentations with electronics and synthesis have made him a master of the violin in the jazz and rock genre.
