Ucross Journal
   Ernesto Diaz-Infante (piano)

Ucross Journal, the third recording in Ernesto's ongoing series of solo piano improvisations is a series of short improvs.   The music was inspired by a residency at the Ucross Foundation Ranch in the mountains of Wyoming.  The 25 pieces, one written for each day the Ernesto was in residence at Ucross, have an open tonality which is perhaps intended to conjure up the wide open Montana landscapes.  All of the pieces are short, with none of the tracks reaching three minutes.  Never does effort seem to enter into this music.

"Improvised solo piano musings from gifted artist Ernesto Diaz-Infante allow the listener to share in the creative process." -- Jim Santella, All About Jazz

Total playing time 64:20 minutes.
