“Another to record an entire album of Joni Mitchell's songs is Welsh singer Ian Shaw... Night in the City, from Mitchell's debut album, is given the swing treatment, with Shaw interjecting bursts of bubbly scatt. Nigel Hitchcock on tenor saxophone and pianist Tim Lapthorn both take lively solos, but the star of the show is Shaw — not for nothing is he widely considered as the UK's greatest jazz singer. In his delivery there are shades of Mark Murphy and Jon Hendricks, artists in whose company Shaw very much belongs.”
Night in the City from Ian's 2006 album Drawn To All Things ‐ the songs of Joni Mitchell.
