Shatner’s Bassoon is a group of five Leeds based composers/improvisers influenced by contemporary artists such as Tim Berne, Mr. Bungle, John Zorn, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa and a range of rock and electronica.They have developed a unique collective sound based on developing complex compositional structures through improvisation – allowing the music to be naturally infused by their experiences. The results can range from dense free noise through intense riffs and ambient textures. They play with musical clichés and conventions to produce music that negotiates a path from the beautiful to the sinister, humorous and surreal.

"The weird and wonderful second chapter from Leeds’ uncompromising new generation of jazz noise-making terrorists" – Selwyn Harris

"… The Cardiacs masquerading as a Mahavishnu Orchestra tribute band at a works Christmas do" – Paul Margee, Louder than War

"… It’s imaginative and highly unusual; there are details in every sound – and a high level of wit" – Chris Cutler (Henry Cow / Art Bears)
