Bruno Mičetič band (HR), guest Joe Kaplovic (ZDA)

Bruno Mičetić završio je Konzervatorij u Klagenfurtu, jazz odsjek, te je odmah nakon toga osnovao trio sa glazbenicima s kojima je surađivao cijelo vrijeme svog studija. Trio je dosada nastupao na brojnim jazz festivalima u regiji, a odmah po osnivanju ulaze u studio i snimaju album.

Kao poznavatelj više glazbenih stilova, Bruno Mičetić djeluje i u rock bendu Keops, kao autor i vođa, a osim toga do sada je na nastupima pratio i mnoge pop pjevače.

No, usprkos tome, nikako ne želi zapustiti svoju ljubav prema jazz glazbi. Bruno je do sada surađivao sa brojnim jazz glazbenicima: Primož Grašić, Henri Radanović, Lee Harper, Nikola Matošić, Denis Razumović, Uglješa Novaković itd., te ne krije svoju strast prema old school jazz-u (be bop, mainstream jazz) te fusion jazz – rock izričaju.
