"Zzaj Productions is proud to announce the release of Bluer than Blue, a collaborative spoken-word effort between San Francisco improvisor Ernesto Diaz-Infante and the Great Northwest's "King of Chaos", Rotcod Zzaj. This tape is a "pre-release" of a CD product that will come out sometime early in 1999, and highlights new aspects of Ernesto's improvisational skills that make for exciting and challenging listening! Radio stations that (can) guarantee airplay, or publications that will ensure a review should e-mail Rotcod Zzaj; for all others, the price is $5 (check or money order made out to Dick Metcalf). Snail all orders to: Zzaj Productions, 5308 65th Ave SE, Lacey, WA 98513." http://home.attbi.com/~rzzaj/zzaj54.htm
