BIOGRAPHY

“Getter is a powerhouse Stratslinger and her latest blends jazz and prog rock to create her own unique sound……all highlighted by her wailing, heartfelt solos” - Vintage Guitar Magazine

NYC-based Jane Getter is a “triple-threat” (Geoff Wilbur)—guitarist, singer, ASCAP award-winning and NYSCA commissioned composer. Getter’s 2024 release, Division World, coalesces a lifetime of musical exploration into intricate arrangements, powerful playing, and killer solos.

Getter has been shredding boundaries since picking up a guitar at age eight and recently won the number 8 slot for best guitarist in Prog Magazine’s 2021 readers poll. She cites musical influences Mahavishnu Orchestra, King Crimson, Porcupine Tree and guitar influences Jeff Beck, Allan Holdsworth, and Wes Montgomery. On her first tour, with legendary jazz/blues organist Brother Jack McDuff, Getter’s musical language expanded to embrace the groove-oriented music that she saw thrilling audiences. Getter has also toured and played with Lenny White, Ursala Dudziak, Jaimoe (of the Allman Brothers), Michal Urbaniak, Kenny Garrett, The Roots the jam, Mike Clark (Headhunters), the Saturday Night Live Band and more. Following solo albums Jane (Lipstick Records, 1999), See Jane Run and Three (Alternity Records, 2005, 2012), the new songs Getter was composing had a fuller, richer sound than anything she had recorded before.

For releases On (Snapper’s MadFish Music, 2015), ON Tour (Big Fun Productions, 2017) and Anomalia (Cherry Red/Esoteric Antenna), Getter formed Jane Getter Premonition to fulfill the promise of these compositions, assembling players Adam Holzman (Steven Wilson Band, Miles Davis), Alex Skolnick (Testament), Chad Wackerman (Frank Zappa), plus Bryan Beller, Mark Egan, Gene Lake, Stu Hamm, special guests Vernon Reid, Corey Glover, Theo Travis and singers Randy McStine and Chanda Rule.

The latest JGP album Division World (Cherry Red/Esoteric Antenna, 2024), features the current touring band - Adam Holzman, Alex Skolnick, Paul Frazier (David Byrne) and Gene Lake (Marcus Miller, Boz Scaggs) with guest appearances on vocals by Randy McStine (Porcupine Tree) Jane Getter Premonition has carved out a niche at the intersection of rock, jazz, metal, and singer-songwriter with masterful playing of Getter’s “complex, sophisticated, and dynamic” compositions (All About Jazz).

On tour, JGP has dazzled audiences nationally and internationally at ProgStock festival (US), Outreach Music Festival (Austria), San Francisco Jazz Festival, bFlat Bar (India), Warsaw’s Guitar City (Poland), Borderline (UK), North Sea Jazz Club (Netherlands), Paradox (Netherlands), dasRind (Germany), KuBa (Germany), Reigen (Austria), Iridium (NYC) and many more.
