Album Review

Trombonist Rob Susman, who is inclined to dwell on the cutting edge of contemporary jazz, remains “out there" for the most part on Top Secret Lab, an album wherein his splendid nonet is challenged by half a dozen of Susman's intricate compositions (and two others) and aces every test without any detectable missteps or errant notes. The question is whether Susman's blend of old-school funk with more modern design might whet a listener's appetite. And the answer ...

Getter's phenomenal solo debut pulls up the deep roots of jazz and jazz fusion, shakes off the dust and dirt, to mine and shine the gold within.
