about

Ernesto Diaz-Infante is one of the most interesting improvisors (alive) in the world today. Rotcod Zzaj met him (via the net) in 1996 or so... After exchanging various CD's and tapes, it was clear that they "spoke" the same musical language... this CD is the first in a series of about 16 that they have performed on together

Here's a review of the album written by LaDonna Smith in "the Improvisor" magazine:

Will the insidious improvisational talents of Diaz-Infante and Rotcod Zzaj never be still? I certainly hope not. Roiling keyboards and percussive guitar are combined with semi-audible dialogue, creating a free-jazz fever dream that occasionally sounds like an outtake from the "Twin Peaks" soundtrack. Groovy! Both Diaz-Infante and Rotcod Zzaj are quite capable of sculpting highly listenable works on their own, and their prior collaborations have proved that they work well together; as a result, their give-and-take makes the randomness of Bluer than Blue more aesthetically pleasing

p.s. Dick Metcalf (aka Rotcod Zzaj) was also a MUSIC reviewer (he had to retire in 2023)… you can check out his reviews at Contemporary Fusion Reviews magazine - contemporaryfusionreviews.com
