Bill Ortiz [2022] - Points Of View [Self Released] (Full Album)


The new album from Bill Ortiz is "Points Of View" and includes a cover of the great Rance Allen "Ain't No Need Of Crying (When It's Raining)" written by David Porter. It seemed churlish not to check out the whole album and it's a very nice album if you like your contemporary jazz/fusion.

The remainder of the album is predominantly jazz instrumentals written by some jazz greats including "Sunburst" Eddie Henderson, "Ain't Gon Change A Thang" Wilton Felder (Crusaders), "In Search Of Truth" Lonnie Liston Smith and "A Toast To The People" Brian Jackson & Gil Scott-Heron.

Bill Ortiz was a trumpeter with Santana for around sixteen years and has played with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, to name but a few, and "Points Of View" is his third solo album. 

For me, at least, the choice cuts are the vocal tracks  "Ain't No Need in Crying", which has a bit of a Latin twist,  and "A Toast To The People" both of which feature Terrie Odabi who is a new name to me but has released two solo albums, "Evolution Of The Blues (2013) and "My Blue Soul" (2016) which I will be surely checking out based on her performances on this album.
