"On
her first CD, jazz singer Susan Getz
has put four of her own
compostitions side by side to Cry Me A
River, I Need Your Love So Bad,
(brother-in-law) Robert Palmer's Honeymoon
and two Beatles songs, The Long
and Winding Road and Come Together. The
first is a piano-accompanied piece,
with light percussion in the back. The
pianist plays an entirely different
melody right up to a 1- minute instrumental
piece at the end, whereas the
singer sticks close to the original vocals,
though in a different phrasing.
Come Together has a driving beat, set by
the backing band and near the end,
the drummer gets his way. As an instrumental
this version would hardly be
recognized as a Beatles tune, but with
her rich diction, Getz is the perfect
link between these jazz accompaniments
and the Beatles song. She further> proves
this versatility on a wonderful version
of an early Fleetwood Mac blues hit,
I Need Your Love So Bad."

"Frequently new
singers follow other great singers in
style, not that I
disapprove, but it is nice to hear a
new voice. Susan Getz is on the right
path with a charming sound and a different
style coming from her first cd.
The concept, to be sure, is hers alone.
Susan, let's hear more from you, the
silky voice of Susan Getz."

"Susan Getz keeps
the spirit of West Coast Cool alive on
her debut
recording, Jazz Boxx. She exhibits her
jazz/pop sensibility with Robert
Palmer's "Honeymoon" as well
as Lennon/McCartney's "Long and
Winding Road"
and "Come Together." All three
selections showcase Getz's warmth and
tenderness. Another facet of Getz's artistry
is her distinctive
interpretation of Great American Songbook
standards. Worthy of note are
Susan Getz's originals, which truly highlight
her potential. Her songs fit
hand in glove with her voice and style. "Say
Goodbye to Love" is a
hauntingly beautiful piece." Susan
Getz's intentions, intimacy, lyricism,
and passion for the music shine through."

vocalist, Susan Getz comes at you right
where it
counts… Her vocal delivery hits you
in the solar plexus area of your
musical sensibilities, with taste, charm,
enchantment, fascination,
attraction, grace, art, aesthetics, & wit.
This is a singer with an ability
to offer her talent with a delicate & subtle
yet equally strong sense of
vocal liberation."

"She knows exactly
what material to sing and how to find
the right tone for
each piece, evoking exactly the right
emotion in every case. Her voice is in
turns warm, vulnerable, seductive, touching,
and witty."

"An enthusiastic Francis Ford Coppola caught the debut of zesty zinger Susan
Getz at the Purple Onion Tuesday night. Susan sings [on a double bill] with the
big Collective West Jazz Orchestra Tuesdays from 7 to 10; then the Orchestra
rules. ..."

"A remarkably new and refreshing voice
has appeared on the West Coast in the
form of Susan Getz...a voice that is at once restrained, yet strong enough
to fill one's soul with the bittersweet vision she finds from within all the
tracks on her well-balanced CD..."
