Introducing Adi Oasis, BDJF 2024 Curator

The Flynn is excited to announce Brooklyn-based French-Caribbean soul-funk-R&B artist and producer Adi Oasis as the curator for the 2024 Burlington Discover Jazz Festival. This year’s festival takes place across Downtown Burlington from June 5-9. Burlington Discover Jazz Festival is produced by the Flynn and presented by New England Federal Credit Union.


With her intoxicating voice, poignant lyrics, soulful melodies, funky bass playing, and striking personal style, Oasis is an electric performer and a sought-after collaborator in modern jazz and R&B spheres. She has toured globally and shared the stage with notable artists like Anderson .Paak, Thundercat, Lenny Kravitz, Masego, Yasiin Bey, and more. Oasis has performed at a wide variety of festivals including Newport Jazz Fest, Love Supreme, Central Park SummerStage, Afropunk, and Montreux Jazz Festival. She recently released her latest solo album, Lotus Glow, featuring her trademark soaring vocals, funky bass, and retro-futurist production, plus special guests KIRBY, Leven Kali, Jamila Woods, and Aaron Taylor. As curator for this year’s Burlington Discover Jazz Festival, Oasis helps guide the vision and themes that tie the five-day event together, selecting artists that represent and celebrate the present and future of jazz as an evolving art form.

My hope is to share my vision of where jazz is today and bring joy while creating awareness.

“I’m honored to be the curator for this year’s Burlington Discover Jazz Festival,” said Adi Oasis, curator for the 2024 festival. “Curating a festival has been a dream of mine for many years and it was exciting to be given this opportunity. My hope is to share my vision of where jazz is today and bring joy while creating awareness. I couldn't be prouder of the lineup of tremendous talents we've put together; each represents a different musical message. It was important to me to highlight everyone—including women, international, and queer artists—alongside more traditional jazz artists. The opening night puts a spotlight on Black women in jazz, and we are closing the festival with one of today's most acclaimed musicians. Burlington is in for a very special experience and I’m certain that all the artists will absolutely love meeting this welcoming community.”

It's important for me to create a dialogue that doesn't necessarily happen in conversation but happens in sharing an experience.
