With Bridges Rale Micic has delivered a memorable and assured debut
album that leaves me looking forward to his next.' J. Weiner, All About
Jazz '... a completely new sound and approach to harmonic concepts...'
Boston Phoenix The much-anticipated release of Rale Micic Quintet debut
album has arrived! Bringing focus on the original compositions, album
'Bridges' is a mix of modern jazz and beautiful melodies influenced by
the sounds of Balkans. It features some of the top players from New York
City: Bob Reynolds on tenor (young rising star and 1999/2000 Billboard
Award winner), Sean Conly (bassist who has performed and toured with

Milan Milanovic and drummer Alvin Atkinson Jr. (Bob Mintzer, Wycliff

receiving a scholarship from the prestigious Berklee College of Music
in Boston, MA. He has studied with renowned professors such as George
Garzone, Hal Crook, John Thomas and Bob Brookmeyer. Under the mentorship
of legendary guitarist Mick Goodrick (Instructor to guitarists Pat
Metheny and John Scofield), Rale's playing and composition skills
flourished. Upon graduating in 2000, Rale moved to New York City and
formed the Rale Micic Quintet with some of jazz' most promising young
artists. Rale Micic is a recipient of numerous awards in field of
performance and composition: Harris Stanton Award for Outstanding
Guitarist (March 1999), three times B.A.S. Award (April 1999, 1998,
