MATT GARRISON LIVE 2004RARE-DVD (JAZZ FUSION)
Matt's style of playing and his compositions were fresh and really show what all the hype is about Matt Garrison. Some are hard to digest on the first round and may not be recommendable for those who are looking for an easy-listening soft jazz type CD. The overall production quality and the layout of the DVD can be improved quite a bit but not disappointing considering it's his private production. Matt Garrison: Bass, Adam Rogers: Guitar, Jojo Mayer: Drums, Scott Kinsey: Keyboards, Jim Beard: Keyboards, Gene Lake: Drums, Arto Tuncboyacian: Percussion, Sabina Sciubba: Back Vocals.
