ANTHONY JACKSON BENEFIT CONCERT

ShapeShifter Plus 501c3 Presents

For The Love Of Anthony

An evening to celebrate and honor the life and work of legendary bass guitarist, Mr. Anthony C Jackson.


As a first-call New York City session bassist for over five decades, Anthony Jackson played on thousands of recordings, among them some of the most celebrated and important albums and tracks in pop and jazz history. Along the way, he redefined the art of the bass guitar through his singular approach to bass line construction and his invention of the 6-string Contrabass Guitar.
Following his landmark run simultaneously anchoring and elevating the music of artists like Billy Paul, The O’Jays, Buddy Rich, Roberta Flack, Chaka Khan, Paul Simon, Steely Dan, Chick Corea, Al DiMeola, Lee Ritenour, Luther Vandross, Steve Khan’s Eyewitness, Akiko Yano, Michel Camilo and Hiromi, Mr. Jackson’s last performance was with Hiromi in her trio with drummer Simon Phillips, in 2017. After suffering a series of strokes and being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, he has not been able to tour, record or perform locally. However, he continues to work diligently every day in therapy and never takes the bass guitar out of his hands.
Join us to celebrate the life and work of this pioneer and genius. Bass Magazine editors Chris Jisi and Elton Bradman will be interviewing Anthony, as well as an amazing lineup of artists and surprise guests, who will each perform music associated with Anthony’s long career.
This very special evening will be a one-time only event only in an effort to help raise funds for Anthony Jackson’s continuing health and living expenses. Tickets are extremely limited so get yours now. You won’t want to miss honoring a true musical giant who has meant so much to our hearts, minds and ears!
