Fresh off the groundbreaking success of Play on Venus (Live at Jazz ’n Dine 2024), the Caribbean Neo Soul Queen Ms. Lí-Lí Octave proudly announces Jazz ’n Dine 2025, set to ignite the senses at the Alliance Française de la Dominique on April 26th, 2025, from 5 PM. This year’s event promises an unforgettable fusion of music, community, and philanthropy, alongside the official reveal of her second live album, Orbiting Venus—already hailed as a “cosmic evolution of Caribbean Neo Soul” by critics.
Celebrating 2024’s Triumphs
The 2024 edition of Jazz ’n Dine cemented Lí-Lí Octave’s status as a trailblazer. Her debut live album, Play on Venus, released globally via Wai’tuMusic, earned rave reviews for its raw, fearless vocals and genre-defying blend of Neo Soul with Caribbean rhythms, which she calls Caribbean Neo Soul. Critics praised its authenticity in an era dominated by AI-generated music, with SoulBeats Magazine declaring, “Lí-Lí Octave doesn’t just sing—she resurrects the soul of live performance.” The 2024 album’s success spurred overwhelming demand for its 2025 follow-up, Orbiting Venus, recorded live at this year’s event – declared a Jazz n Creole signature fringe event by The Dominica Festivals Committee.
Jazz ’n Dine 2025: A Night of Stars and Soul
Lí-Lí Octave will headline alongside a curated lineup of rising stars and collaborators, including soulstress Janae Jackson, groove maestro Phael Lander, and Wai’tuMusic labelmates Janet Azzouz and Karlvin “J Cro” Deravariere. Surprise guests like Latin Jazz legends Bryan Sax (saxophonist) and Juan Carlos Cepeda (pianist) both from St. Vincent, will elevate the evening’s eclectic energy. Attendees will also enjoy original songs from “The Friends”, all destined for a separate Jazz ’n Dine 2025 compilation album, showcasing Lí-Lí’s commitment to uplifting fellow artists.
