That Old Feeling/ Various - That Old Feeling

Alma Micic Quartet serves up a delightful take on timeless standards, embellished by an original, and a version of the Romany anthem "Solnishko", with visions of a dreamy night, both sentimental and hopeful. Songs inspired by dancing in the moonlight, till the sunrise comes, Alma's new album That Old Feeling will leave you with a sweet feeling. Vocalist Alma Micic was born and raised in Belgrade, Serbia. At the age of 16 she started performing with a local quartet at a time when jazz was making a comeback in Belgrade. Soon she became a featured vocalist with the Radio Belgrade Big Band and began touring and appearing at many local jazz festivals as well as television and radio broadcasts. In 1995 she received a scholarship to attend the Berklee College of Music, graduating with a bachelor's in jazz performance.
