IAN SHAW - JANUARY 14, 2026
With multiple awards as 'best' jazz vocalist - from the likes of the BBC, Parliamentary and Jazz FM Awards, to name but three - Ian Shaw has been named, along with Mark Murphy and Kurt Elling, as one of the world’s finest male jazz vocalists.
But that's only half the story, as Shaw's craftsmanship extends well beyond the constraints of 'jazz' music; his career actually began on the Alternative Cabaret Circuit, alongside such performers as Julian Clary, Rory Bremner and Jo Brand. From there he developed an enviable reputation as a fine, non genre specific, singer and songwriter in his own right as well as for his very personal re-imagining the work of classic artists like David Bowie, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen.
