| In retrospect, it was this lyricism, plus his restraint and sense of contemplation—a sparse, controlled manner of expression that sculpted new lines out of spontaneous alterations of tempo and dynamics—that set Ortega’s playing apart. Unlike most improvisers, who embellish or ornament their material, Ortega was here stripping away the musical excess, replacing it with elastic, elliptical statements that reshaped and redefined the music from its emotional core. Since the 1960s Ortega has recorded another handful of sessions, including in 2000 the acclaimed Scattered Clouds (hatOLOGY 555). But it’s no slight on Ortega today to say that with New Dance he created something special, unique, and timeless. — Art Lange |
