Dulles Restaurant/Lounge in partnership with Ayoola Sadare’s Inspiro Productions will on May 30 launch the LIJF/NAIJAZZ Super Sessions Jazz Residency a high-prestige cultural series curated for the city’s most discerning audiences.
The residency transforms Dulles Lounge into the epicenter of “An Uncommon Jazz Experience” a premium fusion of Jazz, Afrobeat, Highlife, and contemporary live performance within a luxury nightlife setting.
With a legacy spanning nearly three decades, Sadare brings unmatched cultural authority and curatorial excellence, bridging authentic musical heritage with modern luxury experiences.
The residency opens with a bold, high-impact themed night “Do You Jazz!?” a cultural rallying call to Lagos’ elite and tastemakers.
The launch will feature a powerhouse double-bill of some of Nigeria’s finest virtuosos: Kunle Ayo, internationally celebrated Afro-Jazz guitar maestro, Saxo Queen, renowned for her electrifying stage presence and signature brass sound
Together with other special guests, they will set a new benchmark for live jazz and musical programming in Lagos.
Breaking away from routine weekly entertainment formats, the residency adopts a Monthly Super Session model—held on the last Saturday of every month starting this month.
This deliberate cadence cultivates exclusivity, building anticipation and establishing each edition as a must-attend cultural moment for a refined and influential audience.
Already, a staple within Lagos’ elite social circuit, Dulles Lounge evolves through this partnership into a definitive destination for sophisticated live music.
By integrating the institutional weight of LIJF/NAIJAZZ, the residency introduces a distinct sonic identity urban, African, and unapologetically modern positioned as The Uncommon Jazz Experience.
CEO of Dulles Lounge, Mr. Dolapo Akinpelu described it thus:
“This residency is a cultural movement. We are not just a venue hosting events; we are answering the question; ‘Do You Jazz!?’
