- Garrison, Lawson and Fyffe that is. What a great weekend - played a wicked gig myself on Friday, then hung out with Matt and Nick before Matt destroyed the set with Gary Husband at Ronnie Scott's, I was alongside the most excellent Mr Lawson - and one thing we all agreed on - aside from Matt - was that Mr Garrison is probably one of THE finest musicians playing bass in the world right now - and as for his chops they are quite stupendously ridiculous - BUT - in an extremely musical way.

If any of you New York cats have the chace - keep your eyes peeled for Matt's surround-sound solo debut at the only venue in NYC to have a full quadraphonic sound-system - it's called The Monkey - and he's aiming to do something there quite soon - and it will be utterly, utterly sick! Please go and support what he's doing, (that goes for any other bass player you know) - he is at the cutting edge of this stuff and we have strength in numbers - so tell your friends...

Cheers

Mike

For those who don't know there is a Matt Garrison interview in Guitar World's Bass Guitar this month.

Damn I was hoping 50 quid would be to oh well I might just get the DVD of both.

Thanks for the info Urb oh and were you allowed to take camera's

I saw the band at Ronnie Scotts last thursday.

Saw only the first stuff, but it was great anyway. I have to say I didn't really like the slow, orchestrated stuff, when Gary Husband was on the piano or directing... kinda boring if you ask me. :hmm:

But OTOH, when Mr. Husband was hitting the drums, the music was killing! Matt Garrison is a monster player... I think that night he had the most beautiful live tone I ever heard out of a bass. His chops are amazing and he has incredible groove. I need to check out more of his stuff!

I wanted to buy a DVD after the show, but I found the 30 quids price tag a bit too expensive! :hiding:

I'm sure that was an inspiring night - so what's Nick Fyffe doing now that he's out of J-Quai? I heard he's teaching at a music school?

Nick does a litttle 'teaching' - though he admits he's not much of an example compared to some - but he's a top man and has a tonne of experience inside the industry at the highest level - so hats off to him there. He's also working on his own stuff, funky self-produced things, he plays guitar and drums as well - plus he's sessioning with a UK dance act called Shapeshifter's - they had a hit called 'Lola's Theme' last year - and the new single features a 'live' bass line from Nick - I haven't heard it yet but I'm sure it's cool, he did also dish the dirt on the darker days of hanging out with JayKay but I am sworn to secrecy...
