In his inimitable one-man powerhouse show, Ian Shaw explores the joys, tears and sheer horror of the festive season….
This mischievous artist brings you a cracker of a show, after yet another right old figgy pud of a year.
Expect razor-sharp comedy and a flurry of Xmassy offerings, alongside songs from his favourite songwriters including Joni Mitchell.
In a career spanning three decades, Ian Shaw is widely regarded as the best male jazz vocalist the UK has produced, with 19 albums to his name. He is also a talented pianist, song writer, presenter, record producer and actor. His recordings and live performances as a jazz singer have been recognised by two BBC jazz awards, a Parliamentary award and numerous award nominations including Downbeat Magazine and Jazz FM.
Alongside solo shows, Shaw is also much in demand as the featured soloist with big bands and orchestras both in the UK and internationally. His many collaborations over the years include Quincy Jones, Abdullah Ibrahim, Madeline Bell, Guy Barker, Kenny Wheeler, Cleo Laine, John Dankworth and Joe Beck.
For over ten years Ian has presented the weekly Ronnie Scott’s Radio Show on Jazz FM which is sindicated worldwide.
“A brilliant vocal chameleon …there’s actually more heart in Ian Shaw’s cleverness than in many singers who wear their hearts conspicuously on their sleeves” Telegraph
“Beloved Brit jazz vocal star” Time Out
“Great jazz singers, like great comedians, are masters of timing. That Ian Shaw is a virtuoso of both disciplines, balancing stand-up and concert gigs, speaks to the breadth of his genius and to the singularity of his style as a singer.”
Jazz Times (USA)
