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.
