Who is Jean Luc-Ponty? Well, he's a violinist who gained notoriety after many stints with the Mothers of Invention, and this 1969 album proves his connection with the group, with the entire album (save for one piece) being slightly re-arranged Frank Zappa songs. The selection of Mothers songs is also quite nice, ranging from King Kong to Idiot Bastard Son, which are both classic Zappa songs. Music for Electric Violin and Low Budget Orchestra would later get abridged and renamed to fit the guitar on Zappa's later album Studio Tan. The song on this album, though, clocks in at just under 20 minutes and runs a gauntlet of various horns and wind instruments. It goes through many majestic, mysterious, frantic, and uplifting moods and for the most part it is a quite brilliant instrumental with great percussion and drums from Art Tripp.

King Kong: Jean-Luc Ponty Plays the Music of Frank Zappa was an active collaboration; Frank Zappa arranged all of the selections, played guitar on one, and contributed a new, nearly 20-minute orchestral composition for the occasion. Made in the wake of Ponty's appearance on Zappa's jazz-rock masterpiece Hot Rats, these 1969 recordings were significant developments in both musicians' careers.
