Nominated several times for Best Jazz Vocalist at the BBC Jazz Awards. BBC award-winning jazz vocalist 2007 (and 2008 nominee) appears at artsdepot as part of the Festival. With just his piano as accompaniment, this exciting maverick performer will be singing songs from his brand new album, Lifejacket. A highly personal, moving and often hilarious look at being a middle-aged child, it embraces love, childhood memories, Soho nights and conflicts of all kinds. In recent years Shaw has collaborated with Guy Barker, Abdullah Ibrahim, Liane Carroll and the BBC Big Band. Ian Shaw - London Jazz Festival website.
