| About Sam Anning |
|
At 24 years of age, Sam Anning is one of Australia’s foremost up-and-coming Jazz musicians. After graduating from WAAPA completing a Bachelor of Jazz (Performance), Sam went on to study and perform in New York City, the U.K., and Europe, where he also developed and broadened his compositional and performance style. He received the 2001 Toyota Scholarship for Jazz, and was a finalist in the James Morrison Scholarship twice.
Sam has performed with a large number of national and international artists including, Sheila Jordan, Chris Cheek, Darren Sigesmund, James Morrison, Don Burrows, Terrell Stafford, Graham Collier, Jamie Oehlers, Barney McAll, Greg Osby, Ingrid Jensen and Carl Orr.
He has recently been featured as an accompanist and soloist on a number of recordings including, ‘Stand and Flow’- Grant Windsor Trio (Newmarket Music), ‘Blues In The Night’- Mat Jodrell (Morrison Records), and ‘Love, Blues and other Fiction’ - Joe Chindamo/Graeme Lyall AM (Newmarket Music).
Sam has recently toured Canada with the 'Darren Sigesmund Quintet' as a featured performer and composer.
The Sam Anning Quintet, Quartet, and Trio play original compositions by Sam, and interprets and improvises on music from a diversity of styles. Some of Sam’s compositions can be heard on the recordings, ‘Glyn MacDonald’- Glyn MacDonald Trio (Independent), ‘Jazzaziz’- Compilation of W.A artists (Independent), and also on tracks recorded for ABC Radio with ‘Speedball’. These compositions have received extensive national radio play.
Sam will be releasing an album of new compositions with his quintet featuring special guests Graeme Lyall AM and Cello quartet ‘WOOD’ in May 2006.
Sam continues to develop his compositional style and technical proficiency on the double bass. There is a high demand, nationally and internationally for Sam’s talents. He is increasingly becoming one of Western Australia’s, and indeed one of Australia’s most sought after jazz musicians.
“…No other bassist in Australia swings like Sam. He has technique to burn, a beautiful sonorous sound, and great ears. I predict that he will carve out a name for himself as one of Australia’s most important musicians.” Joe Chindamo
