(Prog) Former Yes vocalist Jon Anderson has unveiled his latest project featuring jazz-fusion violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, and says he's delighted to be working in a band again.

The Anderson Ponty Band is co-fronted by Ponty, known for his work with Frank Zappa, John McLaughlin, Return To Forever and more. It also features guitarist Jamie Dunlap, keyboardist Wally Minko, bassist Baron Browne and drummer Rayford Griffin.

They launch their live career with a three-week residency in Aspen, Colorado, and they've launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the recording of their debut album.

Anderson says: "A breakthrough feeling came as I sang with Jean-Luc's music. To be in a band again is exciting on so many levels. We'll play and sing our way round the world and have fun - for music is please, music is all that is, music is God!" more on this story
