Read "Shapeshifter Live 2010 Part 1" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Were it not for demanding touring/recording schedules for an impressive A-list of jazz and pop musicians, bassist/composer Matthew Garrison's discography as leader would surely amount to more than the two studio recordings and one live recording up to 2004.
