Album Description

The Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra (CJRO) is set to unveil its most ambitious and soulful project yet—"Golden Lady", a genre-defying album that showcases the power, passion, and virtuosity of featured vocalist Tatiana LadyMay Mayfield. Infused with deep gospel roots, modern R&B, and explosive jazz big band energy, Golden Lady is a groove-forward, joy-filled celebration of songwriting, artistic collaboration, and the ever-evolving sound of contemporary jazz. At the heart of the album is the title track, a reimagined mashup of Stevie Wonder’s "Golden Lady" and Jill Scott’s "Golden", arranged by CJRO Artistic Director, Drew Zaremba. First performed live in 2023 to overwhelming audience acclaim, the track became the foundation for the album’s sound: a fusion of 90s/00s hip-hop, modern funk, and intricate jazz orchestration. The project expands on this blueprint with a mix of original compositions and covers, curated by Zaremba and Mayfield to highlight the legacy of influential Black women songwriters.
