“Micic is bringing an intriguing new perspective to the jazz guitar.”—The New York Times
“Steve Cardenas is an earthbound jazz guitarist, more at home with the stir of a rhythm section than the whoosh of solo heroics. This makes him a pervasive but subtle presence on the scene.”

—The New York Times

Acclaimed jazz guitarists Rale Micic and Steve Cardenas bring their formidable quartet to Zinc on Monday, December 12 to celebrate the music of John Abercrombie. They’re supported by Jared Gold on organ and Adam Nussbaum on drums.
