Ian Shaw – The Theory of Joy
2016 亞洲巡迴及專輯發布
香港唯獨一晚演出...
Support Live Music Productions呈現–英國廣播爵士獎“最佳爵士歌手”兩屆冠軍 – Ian Shaw.
連同其三重奏將演出他第14張專輯- The Theory of Joy裡的新歌曲。 “這張新專輯把Ian又放回到他所屬的位置 - 簡潔地說，我們最優秀的爵士歌手”（Time Out） 。
Ian是個多才多藝的人。他是一位據有天賦的鋼琴家，作曲家，喜劇演員，廣播和唱片製作人，但他最大的才華是作為一名爵士歌手 – 英國最原創，獨特和據有創作立的爵士歌手。事實上他步隨Mark Murphy和Kurt Elling被予為世界上最優秀的爵士男歌手之一。
Ian早期的英國錄音包括三張朗尼史葛爵士樂家的唱片。在1999年以Ian的實力，他簽給了Milestone label，聯合鋼琴傳奇Cedar Walton一起製作了他的第一和第二張專輯In A New York Minute和Soho Stories。 2003 年A World Still Turning 專輯在著名的Avatar Studio錄製，Ian請來了鋼琴家Billy Childs彈奏並和他的導師Mark Murphy進行特色二重唱。
他以2006年的專輯Drawn To All Things - The Songs Of Joni Mitchell被美國Jazz Times評為“他是好評遠揚的英國最佳爵士樂男歌手”。
2012年專輯A Ghost In Every Bar啟發Jazz Times寫到“這威爾士歌手仍然有民謠歌手的溫柔和作家最赤裸裸的魔力” 。
Ian目前每週主持一次Ronnie Scott’s Radio Show，此節目在英國爵士頻道，加拿大，美國及英國航空公司的飛機頻道播放。

Twice Winner of “Best Jazz Vocalist” at the prestigious BBC Jazz Awards - Ian Shaw.
Who is Ian Shaw?
“Praised far and wide as the single greatest male jazz vocalist the UK has to offer”
- Jazz Times USA.
Ian is a gifted pianist, song writer, comedian, broadcaster and record producer, but his greatest gift of all is as a jazz singer - one of the most distinctive, original and creative jazz singers that the UK has produced and indeed he has been cited, along with Mark Murphy and Kurt Elling, as one of the world’s finest male jazz vocalists.
His earlier UK recordings include three on the Ronnie Scott’s Jazzhouse record label. On the strength of these Shaw was signed to the Milestone label for whom his first release was a co-billing with piano legend Cedar Walton (In A New York Minute - 1999). This was followed up by Soho Stories, again with Cedar Walton. A World Still Turning (recorded at the famous Avatar Studio in 2003) had guests including pianist Billy Childs and featured a duet with Shaw’s mentor, Mark Murphy.
Shaw’s acclaimed 2006 album Drawn To All Things – The Songs of Joni Mitchell saw him “Praised far and wide as the single greatest male jazz vocalist the UK has to offer” by Jazz Times USA.
His 2012 album, A Ghost In Every Bar, inspired Jazz Times to report: “The Welsh vocalist remains the gentlest of troubadours and most nakedly magical of storytellers”.
In March 2016 Ian will undertake his first ever tour of Asia to promote his new album – The Theory of Joy.
Why am I telling you all this?
Because you can see Ian Shaw and his trio performing live right here in Hong Kong on Thursday 10th March 2016.
