Chilean-born composer, bassist and producer Ben Mortiz has a fresh take on authentic Latin jazz, with free-fusion elements and postmodern production. Mortiz has risen to his role as a producer, working closer in the development of the compositions, mixing in phonograms and videoclips, while also participating as a session musician in all facets of his works. Latest single “Cielos de Agosto” is an impressive electric bass solo, with ambience and ocean waves. “Tempestas” from his full-length Daniel Ben Mortiz, is a bit more structured, funky at times, with easy-to-follow refrains, accompanying OK Computer-esque hypnotic speaking. Mortiz’ interpretation of “Ronda al Azúcar” features masterful playing and a testament of how his production chops have improved.
