Fernando Ortega's take on contemporary Christian pop is fresh and eclectic; on This Bright Hour, he infuses his material with elements of folk and even world music to create a sound clearly distinct from most other performers in the genre. The album contains "How Firm a Foundation," Ortega's massive CCM radio hit. ~ Mark Donkers

Personnel includes: Fernando Ortega (vocals).

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars A Hard Act To Follow
This was Fernando's first national release after a string of excellent independent releases (which have since been nationally distributed). I have bought and enjoyed his albums since "This Bright Hour" and at least one from before, but this album remains my favorite. It perfectly captures his style, mixing insightful folk songs and worshipful hymns. "This Bright Hour" clocks in at 52 minutes and every song is a gem. It is difficult to pick which album comes in second (they are all excellent), but this one is clearly his best.

Sonny's Crib
Sonny Clark Sonny's Crib CD  (1959) Bonus Tracks; Limited Edition

This Bright Hour album
CD $9.89  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Digitally remastered using 20-bit technology by Ron McMaster. This is part of Blue Note's Limited Edition Connoisseur series. Recorded in 1957, Sonny's Crib features a front line of Curtis Fuller, Donald Byrd, and John Coltrane with Sonny Clark on piano, Art Taylor on drums, and Paul Chambers on bass. Truly still a bebop recording, done a full year before the landmark Cool Struttin' session, nonetheless the set produced some awesome readings of classic tunes, like the opener, "With a Song in My Heart," with one of the knottiest Byrd solos ever. As Chambers and Taylor up the rhythmic ante and Clark comps with enormous chords in the background, the entire line solos, but it is Byrd's that is stunning in its complexity -- though Coltrane could play bebop as well as anybody. The most notable tracks on the session are the classic readings of Kurt Weill's "Speak Low" and "News for Lulu," the latter of which has been adopted by John Zorn as his theme. On the former, Clark's rearrangement, with Coltrane leading the front line, is truly revelatory. Using a Latin rhythm in cut time, Clark sets up a long, 22-note melody line that moves right into Trane's solo. He moves the key around and harmonically shifts gears as Clark follows and stays in the pocket for him while Trane uses the middle register for legato pyrotechnics. Fuller's next and covers over the blues inherent in the tune with pure swing, before Byrd brings it back into the fold with a gorgeous counterpoint of the melody. Clark taps his way into extended harmonics on the sixths and sharpens the accents as he trounces the original key and plays double trills to get back. The latter is a smokin' Latin take on the hard bop blues, with a staggered melodic ...

This Bright Hour album
CD $12.65  3 stars Audio Samples
Elvis Costello & the Attractions: Bruce Thomas (bass guitar); Pete Thomas (drum); Steve Nieve. This is where Costello began to display the chameleonic tendencies that would serve him so well throughout his career. Abandoning snappy, "new wave"-associated rock for the first time, Elvis decided to visit Nashville and record his take on the country classics he loved so much. Enlisting the services of George Jones producer Billy Sherrill, Costello cloaked himself and the Attractions in countrypolitan trappings (including lush strings) for some distinctive version of country evergreens like "Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down" and "Sweet Dreams." Only the punk-derived fervor of "Why Don't You Love Me Like You Used To Do" and the bar-room raunch of "Honey Hush" interrupt the elegant, emotional balladry. Costello also pays tribute to a more recent generation on aching covers of Gram Parsons' "I'm Your Toy" and "How Much I Lied." Ryko's bonus cuts sweeten the pot considerably, ...
