Upon winning an audition in Los Angeles with Ponty, Rayford embarked on the most high profile gig of his career playing with Ponty for six years and five albums (1981-1987). Recalling that, “one year we played the Santa Monica Civic and everybody I listened to growing up was backstage: Stanley Clarke, George Duke, Lee Ritenour.”
