Anthony Shadduck is a contrabassist currently living in Long Beach. He has recently completed his Master of Music in Jazz Studies and Performance from California State University Long Beach.
Active in the both standard jazz and the free improvised idiom, he has performed and recorded with such LA based musicians as bass clarinetist and composer Lynn Johnston; sound artist and guitarist Chris Schlarb and the Create! Collective; Joe Biaza and the Universal Congress Of; flutist, vocalist and pianist Emily Hay; trumpeter Ron Stout; drummer Ches Smith of Good for Cows; as well as guitarist Nels Cline of Wilco. His own trio and quartet performs original compositions and the early music of Ornette Coleman.
Debut is the first solo release from Anthony Shadduck who has performed with Joe Biaza, Emily Hay, I Heart Lung, Create (!) and many others.
His singular introduction to the world as a bandleader is an intimate and explosive quartet recording featuring Nels Cline (Wilco), Lynn Johnston (Red Krayola) and Ches Smith (John Zorn, Marc Ribot). Creative corkscrews, harmonic u-turns and rhythmic regurgitation inside!
