“The best jazz vocalist we have” (Time Out), 2007 was one of Ian Shaw’s most successful years, and he continues in the same vein, nominated again for Best Vocalist at the BBC Jazz Awards 2008.  After numerous sell-out shows, collaborations with the best performers in the music scene, and several hit albums, you don’t get better than Ian.  His brand new, self-penned album, “Lifejacket”, released this April, is "a suite of stories recalling friendships past and present, childhood dreams and dodgy Soho nights" (Jazzwise March 2008).
