FeatureBass Life & Family Legacy

Matthew GarrisonA Creative Space Grows In BrooklynInterview & Photos By Eric NemeyerBassist Matthew Garrison has performed, toured and recorded with an array of influential artists including Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul, Chaka Khan, Meshell Ndegeocello, Joni Mitchell, Whitney Houston, Wayne Shorter, Jack DeJohnette, Steve Coleman, The Saturday Night Live Band, Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker, Mike Stern, Pat Metheny and many more. Garrison is the son of bassist Jimmy Garrison, who was a member of the classic John Coltrane Quartet from 1962-67. After the elder Garrison died in 1976, while Matthew was only six, the family moved to Rome. He began studying piano and bass while in high school. Matthew returned to the United States in 1988, living with his godfather Jack DeJohnette, and studying with both DeJohnette and bassist Dave Holland. He attended Berklee College of Music. In 2012, Garrison with his business partner Fortuna Sung, created and opened ShapeShifter Lab, a performance and recording venue in Brooklyn.

JI: Your family moved to Rome, and you spent a number of years there including your high school years. Then you returned to the United States, and you lived with Jack DeJohnettes family. As I understand, you were able to observe rehearsals that Jack had at his home, and develop associations with the artists who visited, such as Herbie Hancock. You mentioned that your experience during those years helped you gain direction. MG: It was one of those moments. I would hear them playing. I was like, Oh my God. I dont know what the hells going on but I gotta see what this means. Youre always searching. Its almost like this drug or this habit that you have to fulfill. I dont know if Ill ever achieve it but Ive been trying pretty hard. The one thing that I

took away from hanging out with Jack and just being around him and just understanding how he was doing his thing is that its very simple. Its very childish in a way - his approach to music. He just loves it and it just happens. But at the same moment, he was imparting to me that its something as serious as your existence, as your life. If I wouldnt practice, he would really come down on me hard. Theres a simplicity to it but theres also that dedication that this is what you breathe, you live, you drink. This is it. So do it. And man, hes one of the greatest cats Ive ever met in my life. One thing I definitely learned about all these folks is the seriousness with which they approach their thing. Its like its no joke but its still playful so that you dont have to be so serious about it but you do. Thats pretty much it. I think the work ethic is critical. When I watched Jack and the musicians that rehearsed at his place, when they start, its relentless. Theyll go and go and go and go, and youre like, Oh my God. What the heck? When does it stop? And it doesnt. It never does. You know, its beautiful. JI: So how long were you at Jacks place then? MG: I think about a year. After maybe three or four months at Jacks, I decided I should play music. He helped me to apply to Berklee. The first year I had a really hard time. There were so many bad cats. I was like, Oh my God. Kurt Rosenwinkel, Seamus Blake, Chris Cheek, Josh Redman, Geoff Keezer I was like, What the

The most beautiful thing about music is the ability to fail. You know, so through failure, then theres another attempt and with that secondary and tertiary and, you know, the consecutive attempts, is growth and possibility and new directions and new opportunities.hell am I doing here? After about a year of suffering, I decided to really put my head to it. I took a whole summer off and I practiced my butt off. When I came back, I was doing everything with everybody all the time. I just continued working from that point on for about a decade. I didnt stop. JI: Were you practicing upright and electric bass? MG: No, mainly electric. I focused primarily on harmony and understanding the fret board versus technical, flashy stuff. It was much easier for me to integrate into the jazz world because I understood how that information worked. I went straight from Gary Burton to Steve Coleman to [John] McLaughlin and Herbie [Hancock]. It was consecutive. Just one after the other. JI: Were you motivated to play bass from the start - as opposed to any other instrument? MG: Definitely. Thats been my only instrument really. I play a little bit of piano. JI: Talk a little bit about your connection with and the influence youve experienced from your dad, Jimmy Garrison, who of course performed and recorded with John Coltrane during the classic Quartet period 1962-1967. MG: Unfortunately I didnt get to know my dad too well because he died when I was about six. After that, there were always a lot of musicians and artists around us that would give me information about my dad. It was very helpful because they would just fill in all these gaps. Thats still ongoing, by the way. Maybe thats also the other reason why Im really into the music - because it helps me stay connected to my father. I would have loved to have a talk with him these days. I listen a lot to his work. There was a lot of influence from that. I try to emulate as much as I can the sounds or the texture or the rhythmic concepts of playing acoustic bass on electric. I think thats been a conflict. On acoustic bass you have a much deeper understanding of dynamics and time stretching. If you can apply some of those ideas to the electric bass, it gives you a totally different sense of the instrument. I think thats where cats like Jaco Pastorius and Marcus Miller come from. He sounds different these days. But if you listen to his earlier works, you can really hear that he had some of those inflections on the electric bass. So, yeah, my dad is here right now - in this space. Its for him in the end. Im saying its for him and his folks, and all the people that left us all this amazing art. JI: Lets talk about some of the lessons youve learned or advice youve received from some of the influential artists with whom youve played and how they have made an impact on your evolution as an artist. Joe Zawinul. MG: Amazing cat. When I came to Joes band, Id already been working with Steve Coleman.

So, by the time I got to Joes band, what I was doing wrong was I had some expectations in my mind about how the music should have been played - which he totally derailed. He was like, Look man, were gonna be playing some show tunes. In a way, playing with Joe was a little bit of putting on a show which is great. I didnt mind it at all. But in the beginning I was like, Well cant we play Teen Town. He was like, Man, I dont play that sh*t no more. He set me straight on a number of levels, and he was also one of those hard-ass band leaders. You hade to learn how to deal with him and then play the music and those moments where he would just go with the band or just let it go I would get goose bumps. Amazing stuff. Incredible. JI: On a whole different level, you played with Chaka Chan. MG: Yeah. That was bad. Shes killer. She just has that propulsion even in her approach to the musicians. She just pulls you forward. Shes an impressive human being. JI: Did she provide any instructions? MG: No. She just let you do your thing. On the other hand, with Joe, there was always something. I went from playing two fingered technique to a four fingered technique that I made up for myself. He got all pissed off. Man, why you playing all those ******* notes? Slow down! Chaka was very loose. Very supportive. Very cool. JI: And Steve Coleman is far more exploratory. MG: Incredible. I still think that this cat, no matter what hes doing is probably one of the most important musicians of the 20th and 21st Centuries. He helps redefine a way of playing stuff. I feel really fortunate that hes starting to do some work in here. It blew my mind working with him. To this day I wouldnt know what to do with most of it. JI: What was some of the guidance or instruction that you got from him? MG: I was terrible. There was none. On my first gig with him we drove across the United States for three days. I was hoping that he would give me some information while were driving before we got to the gig because when we got there, we were supposed to play. Three days go by and he didnt tell me anything. We get on stage and I still dont know. Nothing! So he just started. He played a little phrase. Were up in front of the people and the two other guys start playing. I

dont know what the heck is going on. Then I hear him keep playing this little phrase. Im like, What the hell is going on? And, he does that a few times. Then he turns around and he puts his horn in my face. That was the bass line. Im like. Oh my God. Whats happening here? I just came from playing with Gary Burton where everythings very exact - all the charts. Steve was the complete opposite of all of that. I loved it but I was scared. Still to this day I dont get it. JI: What was the biggest challenge for you throughout that gig? MG: When you play his tunes, you have to learn everybody elses part, and know as the performance is taking place where everybody is at any given moment. On top of that, hes throwing in all these wrenches by creating these little musical cues that you have to be absolutely aware of. So if you focus too much on the other peoples stuff and he throws in a little thing, youll miss it. There are these big cycles, and everybody has different cycles, and theyre supposed to line up after X amount of cycles. Then everybody gets one together and its this big moment. Youve just got to be ready all the time. Youre always on your toes. The way he looks at the band is as if he can rewind and fast forward and pause you. So its deep man. Its good. JI: Were there some others that you had significant experiences with that offered up some words of advice or guidance that made a significant impact on you like Paul Simon, Tito Puente, Herbie Hancock? What was your association with those people? MG: I was playing in the Saturday Night Live Orchestra, where we did several concerts and Paul Simon was a brief little thing. Herbie was beautiful because hes one of those guys who doesnt really talk much and he doesnt really say much in terms of the music. He just lets it happen. So if theres a lull in the process, he wont force it. Hell just wait for somebody to say something on their instrument and then well go in that direction. I really appreciated that about his freedom with the concerts. Hes also very diligent about the chords and the structure. This is what were gonna play but then just do what you want, kind of. Very free spirit. I love one statement that I got from Bob Moses when I was quite young. I was like 19. Hes like, Hey man. It was because I think I kept whacking up the passes or something on one of his tunes. He says, Look man, dont worry about it. The most beautiful thing about music is the ability to fail. You know, so through failure, then theres another attempt and with that secondary and

tertiary and, you know, the consecutive attempts, is growth and possibility and new directions and new opportunities. JI: Talk about some of your musical influences and how youve incorporated those into your playing and composing. MG: A lot of folks that I worked with were major, major influences for me Steve Coleman, Joe Zawinul, Stevie Wonder. Some composers were also a big influence as well as, Stravinsky, Prokofiev One of my favorite pieces of classical music [by Prokofiev] is Peter and the Wolf. As a child, I was enthralled by that. I learned later that there are beautiful dark harmonies underneath the beautiful melodies intricate stuff. Thats another thing Ive always been trying to do in terms of my writing - to try to create something thats melodically captivating but where I can express my kind of dark side on the underneath without people really noticing. JI: If there is one for you, whats the connection between music and spirituality? MG: All I can tell you is that I think music is my religion. Ultimately, that should pretty much say it all. Its just like I was telling you before, there are moments where youre performing it or watching music, or experiencing music and you exit yourself and youre connected to something much greater. Im not even sure what that is but that, to me, is what I look for as much as possible. If I can get past myself and just listen when I can let go of listening to myself talking to myself, I can really connect to something thats much greater. Its much more infinite or impossible to define - which is probably in the end, what were all dealing with. Where are we? Who are we? What is this? Whats happening? What is this universe? Thats beautiful man. JI: Matt, with all of the work on ShapeShifter Lab and the need to nurture the growth of this creative space, whats your practice and composing schedule like? MG: Its really just the last part of it, which is mainly composing. The practicing kind of falls in line with it. Ill write something interesting and then Ill just work on that particular thing. Ive been writing a lot of music and thats my practice time and I love it. Its the best practice I can get. JI: You mentioned that your original vision for this creative space that is now ShapeShifter Lab, was something you were imagining since you were a teen. What kinds of ideas were going

Its very childish in a way - his approach to music. He just loves it and it just happens. But at the same moment, he was imparting to me that its something as serious as your existence, as your life. Theres a simplicity to it but theres also that dedication that this is what you breathe, you live, you drink.8July 2012 Jazz Inside Magazine www.JazzInsideMagazine.com To Advertise CALL: 215-887-8880

Deconstructing DadRAYMOND SCOTTAWARD-WINNING DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE MUSICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL VISIONARY A Film by STAN WARNOWAn enthralling film that tells the story of a truly pivotal figure in 20th-century music. A poignant, compelling attempt by a son to understand his father; we know about the works of great artists like da Vinci, but rarely do we hear how their artistic triumphs affected their own families. An essential view inside the wonders of creative genius, American-style. LA WEEKLY, John Payne A very powerful, honest, direct, and personal documentary film. NPR, Radio Times, Marty Moss-Coane A fascinating look at a musical genius and the way he lived his life. This absorbing, highly personal documentary is well worth checking out. Warnow allows us to share his journey of discovery as he pieces together the story of his father. I thoroughly enjoyed it. LEONARD MALTIN, film critic, historian & author

through your mind during this process during those many years and how did your concept evolve? MG: We initially wanted to just open up a space for educational purposes and teaching. As we kept mulling this over, I kept looking at my phone book and all these thousands of people I actually know. By looking through my phone book, I started realizing the reason why I was thinking about calling most of these people so that I could involve them in creating some courses and get this whole teaching program going. Why do we have to limit it to that? All these folks are here in New York City. Why dont we just start doing some shows while we prepare? So the initial intention was to open a space for education, which was going to be an expansion on my website, which is where I post all this material. It very quickly transformed into this other thing. By the time we got the space, it took on another whole level because now we had a very large space within which we could do video and audio capture and rehearsals and workshops. Then we just started looking at all those possibilities. Okay, why dont we try a bit of everything? On top of that, we wanted to tackle a bit of management and some booking, some overseas booking stuff. So I was the first guinea pig for that and it worked out very successfully but as soon as we pulled in some other folks, it was a little bit more than we could handle. As we are in the space, things will keep shifting a little bit depending on what we feel we can make happen and also what can keep us survivable, open and functional. Thats also the beauty of the space. If you have the right people inside there, youre not limited to a particular market. Now we can tackle as many potential things as we can handle - and it keeps changing depending on whats gonna work. That comes back to the theory of everything we do throughout our lives has function and meaning and should be re-examined, re-expressed, re-tried and I think thats really what Shapeshifter Lab is about. I think even the words themselves have one shape that shifts into the next and simultaneously, youre in a laboratory. JI: What was the process like as your vision began to take shape while you were seeking space for the Shapeshifter Lab to become a reality? MG: We wanted to have certain structures that could be moved around the room that could give you a different perspective or a different presentation angle that the sound system could be rotated and moved and changed. Surround sound was a heavy part of what Im doing but we still have to have a proper set up for that. The initial vision of the actual space and the mechanics of it is far more than we can afford. Whats interesting about the space as it is, its just kind of rustic and its got that raw kind of loft space thing, which I grew up in - and were slowly adding those elements as we can. Actually, something I found out which is a little bit more interesting is this. Instead of us doing that to the space itself, it seems to me whats happening is that the artists both musicians and also the actual arts in terms10July 2012 Jazz Inside Magazine www.JazzInsideMagazine.com To Advertise CALL: 215-887-8880

of painting and structures and stuff like that theyre starting to make it shift. JI: Of course, ShapeShifter Lab is run by a musician, you, someone who is composing and performing, creating music all the time. That is naturally going to drive the operation and goals of the venue with a somewhat different perspective than venues that may be owned or managed by jazz fans or business people. How would you characterize that different perspective for readers in terms of what they can expect, where ShapeShifter Lab is going to go and so forth? MG: As I was telling you earlier, my main objective is that folks come in here and feel like, first of all, the artists, they come in here and they feel right. They feel at home or in a space thats conducive to creating something. We want the space to run on its own. But what Ive been asking a lot of musicians is to attempt to bring something thats really new for them and not their standard procedure thing - just come in and do something thats completely uncomfortable. Simultaneously, I think that the audiences that do come here are very attentive. Theyre very attentive to the process. Theyre really involved. We havent even tackled another portion, where I want them to be involved, where they just get into it. You know, theyre part of it. And people get it, man. As soon as you walk in, you get it even a lot of the cats that I called for months and months trying to get them in here. Theyre just like, Oh, okay, whatever. Then they walk in here and theyre . Okay. Gotcha. It hap-

pened with Steve Coleman, for example. Id been inviting him since before we opened. Then, one night, I did a duo performance with one of his drummers. Steve happened to show up that night. Then when I showed him this website thing Im doing, he just flipped out. Hes like, OK, we gotta do this. So now hes starting to book here and hes already got a three day workshop here and theres a lot more coming. JI: Could you talk a bit more about the lifelong development of this idea youve been nurturing that is now a reality in Shapeshifter Lab? MG: You could call it lifelong research because it started when I was a kid. I grew up in New York City and we had a loft. We were very entrenched in the whole movement of the time and my mother was a choreographer and dancer and, of course, my dad [Jimmy Garrison] was a bass player. They werent together at the time but in this period that my mother owned this loft, we had all these crazy performances and shows and musicians were there all the time - from David Murray to Chico Friedman to Fred Hopkins. JI: Tell us about the timetable you followed in laying the foundation for the ShapeShifter Lab from the creation of the business plan to the time you hammered the first nail and ultimately debuting the space to the public? MG: I think we had to wait about four to five months for our construction permits from the city. Meanwhile I was doing recordings in the

space. I wasnt quite ready for it acoustically. It functioned, so I did a lot of video shoots and audio recordings. People would come and rehearse. So we slowly kind of started tapping into musicians, saying, Hey, come on down. See whats going on. Quite a few people saw it before anything was in here. What was scary was our build-out hearing should have been in the first three to four months - which of course didnt happen. Then rent kicked in and we were still waiting for the city. They eventually released the work permits and that took maybe four months of construction, and throughout the construction, we still had things going on. Id still do recordings and all kinds of cool stuff. People would come and hang out and help out. A lot of musicians would come and help paint, put some nails in and stuff alongside the contractors. After about four months or so, the panic really set in. So around February, we said, Lets go. For about the first month, it was a little slow. People didnt know where it was. Theyd get lost coming here, and they still do. But we just kept at it. It gets better and better every week. Some nights were jam packed. So the jam packed evenings really help for the slow evenings. What I mean by slow is that the attendance is smaller but the music is of the utmost caliber. You cant ask for anything better. You see the line up of people we have here. Some nights we have 30 to 40 people in a space that can theoretically fit like 450. From my perspective, the important thing is that were in New York. The square footage in the space itself is 3,600, and then we have another 800 in the office. Were licensed for a

capacity of 200 people and the only reason is because at this stage, we cant afford to put in the sprinkler system, which would cost another $40,000 to $60,000. What we can afford, we do and what we cant, we wait. I prefer that the audience pays for those things at this point. JI: What are the challenges that youre experiencing in terms of getting people to show up? MG: We havent really done a full blown marketing campaign. Were just letting it happen kind of organically and so its not so much of a challenge. Were just biding our time to get everything absolutely in order. Were still waiting on our beer and wine license to fully clear. Its been conditionally approved since November of last year, but the city has to give their final stamp on one last document. Its called the PA, public assembly. We know we can get more people out to some of these shows that have a lower attendance. Its not necessarily a challenge because we know certain bands will attract a lot of people - and when you put em in here, they do. Our beer and wine license will really help because what Id like to be able to do is offer some guarantees which we cant quite do yet. Right now its only tickets. We also rent the space out for whatever people want to do. We have private events and photo shoots, video shoots, so that also is very helpful. Keeps us moving and it helps also when ticket sales are low, so its working. Its working. JI: Whats your long-term vision for

ShapeShifter Lab? MG: One of the first things wed like to do is buy the building and to expand from there. Weve put this in our business plan. Wed like to be able to have a second version of this, if possible. Id like to develop more educational stuff perhaps have a whole school portion. Im not sure where its going but at this rate of growth and how things are happening so quickly, new ideas keep popping up. JI: Its good to know that you smartly took the time to write a business plan. A lot of musicians would benefit by writing one themselves. As a mentor told me once, if you have your business plan in your head rather than in writing, then you dont have a business plan. MG: Right. Thats where I tell you, where Fortunas pretty amazing. She comes from a business background. We balance my conceptual stuff against actual numerical details and we function with that reality. When I start going crazy, shes like. Yo. And when she starts going straight too much with the numbers, I pull her back in and show her that because shes so used to the business side, she might forget the human interaction, where you have to trade things at first to make things happen. Im very aware of that because Ive been in this music world all these years. You cant just put a number down and people react. It doesnt work that way.

JI: Fortuna, since you wrote the business plan for ShapeShifter Lab, could you share your perspectives about how youve brought this to life with Matt? FS: The concept started in 2010. Matt was talking about this idea of his being a musician and how difficult it was to get venues to present new projects. We wanted to create a space where people can present different ideas freely and make the stage morphable. Thats when I started putting together the business plan. So we started looking for the space and we found the space. We started looking at more warehouse spaces, because theyre very open. We found a space where the roof did not have these wooden rafters and the walls were brick. So we painted the space, white brick walls to display artwork and we leave the rafters exposed, so its very much like a loft scene and we like the open idea where, again, going back to the creative idea, so people dont have to be limited. We opened up two walls to make it even more open and it helps let the sound travel better as well. Its a very bare canvas I would say. Like, when you come in, it has almost that museum kind of look. JI: And so you and Matt have become expert painters? FS: Yes. You know, we did have an architect in the beginning but it was very hard to work with the architect in terms of time scheduling. I was more like a trained interior designer so I did most of the drawings for the plans and the eleva-

tions, all the drawings we were submitting permits for the city. Thats my involvement in the space as well, like being the draftsman I would say. I was more like into design and art but my career moved to managing events. Im not a musician but my family came from an artistic background so Im pretty familiar with the environment. Matt and I were high school buddies. I met him when I was 14 and I was going to school in Rome, Italy then - 25 years ago. Many years later, he came up with this concept and also his website concept. So I went back home, did some calculations, proposed to him this business plan and it started from there. I was living in Hong Kong and he said, Ill be in Tokyo. At that time he was performing with Whitney Houston. I went to Japan from Hong Kong for a skiing trip and we met there. It felt like no time elapsed since we met in Rome. It was perfect timing because at that time his tour with Whitney Houston was coming to an end and he was trying to return to Brooklyn to settle down. I was tired of the culturally-lacking scene in Hong Kong. I visited New York a few times and this is the place where I want to be. So I gave up everything and started this whole thing with Matt and its just perfect timing. This is almost like a flagship place and we want to open another one. We dont know where yet - possibly in L.A. and possibly in Asia. We want to spread the concept around the world, especially Asia, where this is lacking. And they need that. JI: What kinds of understandings or attitudes do you expect from those with whom you do busi-

ness or who perform here? MG: Oh my God. I mean, again, its another side of whats happening here. Its like everybody who comes to work here, I have a very specific thing I request of them. That is, the people that come to lay their bare naked souls out to the rest of us have to be cherished and respected as such. Theres a respect level that has to be generated from beat one. Theyve gotta respect these human beings when they walk in this door. Thats the only thing I wanna see. Anybody that doesnt wanna deal with that cant work here. Weve had a few bad apples and theyre gone. Its not easy. Theres a lot of work to do - which is also another stressful side. Were here every day. Were curating every part of this. I refuse to do anything else right now. All the details and we still have to prepare for the next day and the next day after that. Were booked all the way up until November at the moment. The musicians know whats up. Im never going to double cross anybody. They know that about me which is awesome - because Im in the trenches with these cats. Theres another thing that were developing in the space - its my next recording project. Its gone so far in terms of some new territory that Ive actually applied for a patent for this online technology that we developed. Its going to be the outward expression or the web expression of whats happening in the space and its all completely connected.
