Best known for standards such as 'Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most' and 'Ballad of the Sad Young Men', lyricist Fran Landesman spent the last 17 years of her life writing with UK composer Simon Wallace - "an enduring creative relationship that produced some of her finest work" (The Guardian). Sarah Moule became their mouthpiece and muse, recording four highly acclaimed CDs and Ian Shaw widely regarded as the UK's finest male jazz vocalist, was an enthusiastic champion. In 2011, with Simon Wallace on piano, he recorded 'A Ghost In Every Bar, The Lyrics Of Fran Landesman'. This special EFG London Jazz Festival show marks the official launch of the 'Fran Landesman & Simon Wallace Songbook.
