It’s the endless horizon, the sodium arc lights of a truck stop, the slap of windshield wipers, the all-night talk radio, the rumble of the tires on the road, and the smell of burnt coffee before the first light of dawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/music.sussband.com\/nightsuite\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNight Suite\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e represents a new musical exploration for the members of SUSS—the NYC-based quartet of Pat Irwin, Bob Holmes, Gary Leib, and Jonathan Gregg.
