RALE MICIC
NIGHT MUSIC
· Four powerful jazz artists in mid-
career, all with New England roots and
impressive experience, come together
in one explosion of brilliant light, to
produce ten originals, full of purposeful
playing and sublime solos.
·
Together, the first-call quartet fuses
beautifully on their debut play date
together. Presiding over the session
seems to be the musical spirit of Michael
Brecker, Govoni and the band's collective
inspiration and the launching pad for
much of the work on Chance Meeting.
· Last we heard from tasty Serbian-born
guitar player Rale Micic he had recorded
tehs weet trio disc "3". The work vaulted
him to prominence, and he enjoyed
enthusiastic followers at prestigious
gigs.
·
On his fourth disc as bandleader, Rale
looks closer to home for his inspiration.
The sublime new Night Music is a
reimagining of the work of Hungarian
composer Bela Bartok.
·
Helped in his vision mission by Jonathan
Baleka nd his adrenalized drum'n'bass
pulse, Corcoran Holt's heavy groove
on upright bass, and Danny Grissett's
Fender Rhodes, all of which provide an
evocative and colorful bed for Micic's
flowing single note lines and double-
time flurries.
