Ian Shaw - The Theory of Joy '2016

Tracks list

Ian Shaw - jazz singer, songwriter (plus stand-up comedian, radio presenter and
producer!) - has returned to working with that classic jazz ensemble, the piano
trio. A frequent and accomplished solo performer, for this new recording Ian
craved a bit of company, and what company he found… the outstanding
pianist Barry Green, distinguished bassist Mick Hutton and ace drummer Dave Ohm,
three of the UK’s very finest players. 

The group has been performing an exciting set of brand new arrangements at
festivals and club dates in the UK and Europe, including four recent sell-out
shows at London’s Ronnie Scott’s Club. These finely honed new
songs were then captured for this new release, “The Theory Of Joy”.
Recorded at Snap! Studios in North London in the summer of 2015, Ian was
thrilled to have the world-renowned singer Claire Martin as his producer. 

The involvement of the visionary sound engineer Joe Leach on the project
fulfilled another long-held wish. 

Recorded July-August 2015 at Snap! Studios, London
Engineered by Joe Leach Produced by Claire Martin
