Description

|
|
For a small country, Wales' output of jaw-dropping singers is impressive: to a list topped by Bryn Terfel and Shirley Bassey one must add Ian Shaw, who launched his live career at Ronnie Scott's legendary London club. Joni Mitchell's "Furry Sings the Blues," Bill Withers' "Grandma's Hands," My Fair Lady's "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?" "I Thought About You," "Shake Down the Stars," "Alfie," and a suite of songs associated with Sinatra are all enriched anew by his artistry. "Paired with exquisitely tasteful yet distinctive pianist Cedar Walton … Shaw suavely navigates a program of standards laced with a few surprises that bespeak his adventurous taste in songs…. Think of a lighter-voiced, more bluesy and less mannered Al Jarreau, and you'll have some idea of what Shaw sounds like…. Any fan of singing in general and jazz singing in particular will find an hour of solid musical enjoyment."—Boston Herald "The vocal find of the decade."—Time Out, London
