Matthew Garrison

Electric bassist and producer Matthew Garrison is the son of bassist Jimmy Garrison. Since the early '90s, he has recorded and toured with a wide range of top-flight musicians including Ornette Coleman, Herbie Hancock, John Scofield, Joni Mitchell, Meshell Ndegeocello, and the World Saxophone Quartet, to name a scant few. He has also led his own bands since 2000, and has self-released a handful of recordings. Critics not only found favor with his playing and composing, but with his careful, multi-layered production as well. ~ Thom Jurek
