Description

When pianist Robi Botos—Juno Award winner, the last protégé of Oscar Peterson, winner of the Montreux Jazz Festival Piano Competition, and a virtuoso who makes 88 keys sound like an orchestra—agreed to play with a singer for the first time in years, it wasn't a casual decision. When vocalist Adam James—personally chosen by Quincy Jones as "the best" Sinatra interpreter he's ever seen, hand-picked by the Sinatra family to embody their father's legacy, and a performer who's commanded stages from New York's Birdland to sold-out symphony halls—is making the journey back from Hollywood, it's not for just another gig. This is what happens when two artists at the absolute peak of their powers, each a master of their craft with international reputations that precede them, decide to see what happens when they finally share the same stage for an entire evening. On April 11, 2026, at The Sanctuary Concert Hall in Adam's hometown of Georgetown, Ontario, something extraordinary is about to happen.

This isn't a typical jazz concert—it's a first-time summit between forces of nature, the kind of collaboration that happens maybe once in a generation when schedules align and egos step aside for something bigger. Botos brings the ferocious technique and lyrical soul he learned directly from Peterson himself, while James brings the interpretive genius that made him the choice to share stages with Ray Charles, Tony Bennett, and Liza Minnelli. Backed by Toronto's Ben Dwyer on bass, this is a trio creating something that exists nowhere on any recording, that can never be exactly replicated, that you can only experience by being in the room when it happens. Whether you know every chord change or you've never been to a jazz show in your life, you'll feel it—that electricity when world-class artists push each other to places they've never been before.
