# Event Details

- **Event Name**: What’s New | Ian Shaw ∙ Iain Ballamy ∙ Jamie Safir | Newbury Spring Festival
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 20 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: We are delighted to welcome back to the Festival renowned jazz vocalist Ian Shaw, jazz pianist resident at The Ritz Jamie Safir and to welcome tenor sax star Iain Ballamy for an evening based around their latest album.

What’s New, the album (Silent Wish records), was a timely coming together of three players whose collective interest in ‘the moment’ – i.e. musical improvisation, in cahoots with a true love of classic song forms – makes the live experience of the album an ever-growing, yet representative, gig.

The material is about human connections – friendships, relationships, positive and otherwise – and plunders 80 years of the popular song form. These are fresh arrangements of songs of love and hope – from the title song of their recording to Bernstein’s Some Other Time as well as the Bacharach/David classics Alfie and You’ll Never Get To Heaven alongside works by Legrand, Jobim and Ellington.
