In The Green Castle
"On first glimpse this recording might seem to be a sequel to the 1966 alto saxophone and acoustic bass duo session which formed one-half of Anthony Ortega's critically acclaimed "New Dance". But for Ortega to try and recreate that once-upon-a-time, now legendary date would be folly. He has not changed his approach to the duo (or solo for that matter) format all that much in the years between then and now. But significant differences occur in the details. Remarkably, we have the previously unreleased performance of Ornithology from the earlier session, not for comparison, but like a snapshot of an earlier time which provides us with a renewed perspective on the Ortega of today - the same person with some new ideas, a complementary partner, and an improvisational integrity undiminished over time."-Art Lange" "Interestingly enough, West Coast saxophonist Anthony Ortega's previously unreleased 1966 take on Bird's "Ornithology," with bassist Chuck Domanico is inserted among these 2005 produced tracks, featuring bassist Kash Killion. Infrequently recorded, Ortega's discography for this Swiss label convey moments of sheer brilliance. On this adventurous outing he delves into works by Monk, Bird amid two originals and a few pop standards. The artist communicates warmth and agility throughout, as he formulates a close alliance with Killion. When performing as a duo the musicians take advantage of space, where a sense of buoyancy prevails. On "Blue Monk," Ortega -- performing on alto sax sans accompaniment --belts out a bluesy riff via a cascade of drawling extended notes and winding choruses. Moreover, he personalizes this and other pieces while switching to flute on "I'll Remember April," underscored by Killian's nimbly enacted bass lines that build a perimeter of sorts, around the primary theme. Ortega goes it alone during his original composition titled "Open Spaces," consisting of deep and yearning lyricism, rendered with yearning sentiment and topped-off by his melodic, vibrato techniques. And on the 1966 recording of "Ornithology," the saxophonist and Domanico generate speedy bop choruses. Here, Ortega softens the hard-hitting attack with an airy edge, effectively fortified by Domanico's brisk and bouncy patterns. Nonetheless, Ortega is one of the unheralded giants of jazz sax, as this outing reaffirms that notion in rather perfunctory fashion."-Glenn Astarita Get additional information at JazzReview.com ![]() Hat Art Used CDs Improvised Music Jazz June 2007 Trio Recordings Hat Hut Masters Sale Used CD Alphabetic List |
