Alto Saxophone – Anthony Ortega
Contrabass – Guillaume Séguron
Drums – Randy Kaye
Guitar – Rémi Charmasson

After a long eclipse, alto saxophonist Anthony Ortega enjoyed a comeback in the
late '90s. At age 73, he released two strong CDs, one on hatOLOGY (Scattered
Clouds), the other on the brand new French label AJMI Series. Bonjour" (the
quotation mark is intentional) was recorded live in Avignon on March 15, 2001,
at the end of a short tour of France. For the occasion, Ortega's acolytes were
Rémi Charmasson (guitar), Guillaume Seguron (double bass), and Randy Kaye
(drums). A creative player of bop allegiance, Ortega makes up in tone and
lyricism what he lacks in audacity. The set begins and ends with Johnny Mercer
standards. That's where the saxophonist shines, definitely more comfortable with
a light swing. He leaves more room for the other players in his own
compositions, especially in "Bonjour," where Charmasson and Seguron turn the
piece into something very exciting. The freeform "Napoléon" provides another
highlight, even though the leader is clearly surpassed by his backing band.
Parker and the Coltrane of "Naima" filter through his rendition of Mona
Ørbeck's "Round and Round." Bonjour" is beautifully recorded and a worthy
addition to Ortega's short discography, if not an essential item. It can even be
of interest to jazz purists.~ François Couture
