Welcome to this preview of the February shows and here is a short feature with award-winning guitarist and composer Jane Getter who releases her new album "Division World" this month. The full feature will follow in the next edition of the podcast. Led by guitarist, composer and singer Jane Getter, the album follows on from her acclaimed ‘Anomalia’ album and features Jane’s all-star band including keyboardist Adam Holzman, guitarist Alex Skolnick, bassist and singer Paul Frazier and drummer Gene Lake. Randy McStine (McStine & Minnemann, Porcupine Tree) also guests on vocals. Jane’s band has carved out a niche at the intersection of rock, jazz, singer-songwriter, and metal styles with her masterful playing and complex and dynamic compositions and has dazzled audiences internationally. Packed with inspired songwriting and blazing instrumentals, ‘Division World’ is the strongest album yet from Jane Getter Premonition. Jane says: "This album is a bit more song oriented than my previous work. The songs were written during the pandemic and the lyrics in a lot of the songs are reflections of the divisiveness and divisions happening in the world today. My regular band is featured - keyboardist Adam Holzman, guitarist Alex Skolnick, bassist and singer Paul Frazier and drummer Gene Lake. Randy McStine also guests on vocals. I feel Division World may be JGP’s strongest album yet!" "Jane Getter's new album Division World is something quite notable in the multiplicity of genres & sub genres focused on progressive rock fusion guitar, modern jazz rock -contextual songs which do not shy away from a world of  trouble as it’s context for her outstanding, fiery, & nuanced guitar playing - sung in her courageous, melodic, distinctive voice” - Vernon Reid.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classic-rock-news/message
