Zz CJRO - 2025 - Desert Island Discs
Sunday, November 16
We’ve all thought about the music we’d want if we were stranded on a deserted island—the albums we couldn’t live without. One that always makes the list is the 1962 recording featuring Nancy Wilson/ Cannonball Adderley, a collaboration that remains one of the great vocal-instrumental pairings in jazz.

Now, the CJRO Quintet revisits this timeless album with vocalist Tatiana LadyMay Mayfield. LadyMay’s smooth style and deep connection to the material bring a fresh perspective to songs that have stood the test of time.
The concert also showcases the joyful, blues-inflected fire of Adderley’s alto saxophone and the introspective beauty of Evans’ harmonically rich piano stylings. From swinging grooves to haunting ballads, this program is a lush journey through some of the most beloved recordings in jazz history. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to their music, this concert is a must-hear celebration of artistry, influence, and the enduring brilliance of jazz’s golden era.
