Ramiro Zayas - Parte del viaje (2024) Hi-Res

"Parte del Viaje" speaks about change and the parts of oneself that remain when we move. In this sense, it represents for me a sound that accompanies and marks the path. This album was composed between 2019 and 2022, with the premise of exploring the instrumental song format within the familiar realms for me: jazz, song, improvisation. The pieces you will hear have been evolving throughout the concerts, performed by different individuals in various locations. Along the way, I was fortunate to meet Leo Gerstner, Isak Ingvarsson, and Lisa Hoppe, who brought this music to life with such dedication.
True to this evolving narrative, I decided to summon new and old friends who refreshed and brought a new vision to the themes, allowing for experimentation with different instrumentations: Josh Schofield, Sebastian Greschuk, Yossi Itskovich, Joseph Bijon, and Michał Skwierczyński.
As with every album, this is nothing more than a portrait, and I hope the music can tell the stories behind the picture.
