A simmering talent that's finally bubbled over

Led by drummer Femi Koleoso - who has been compared to other rising percussion stars like Moses Boyd and Yussef Dayes - Ezra Collective is on a simple but powerful mission to stay true to their roots. Growing up in London, all of the members of Ezra Collective were exposed to a wide range of musical influences; jazz, yes, but also reggae, funk, hip hop, gospel, grime, afrobeat . . . the list goes on. Determined to maintain the multicultural sound of London in their music, rather than copying traditional, American-style jazz, the band has covered plenty of songs and genres, pushing them through a jazz filter to conceive a unique new sound. There are originals in there as well, of course, testament to the quintet's creative power and ability to express themselves through their instruments - expect plenty of improvisation, impressive solos and pure emotional force at a live Ezra Collective performance. Although they haven't been on the scene for very long, the burgeoning London jazz movement owes a lot to these talented, driven young men, and you too can witness this exciting sea change by getting tickets to Ezra Collective.

Conquering the world: Ezra Collective on tour

Citing legends such as Sun Ra and Nina Simone as their jazz heroes, the members of Ezra Collective have studied all kinds of genres and musical styles to be able to come up with something that fits them. In their North London 'uniform' of tracksuits and trainers they might not look like your average jazz quintet, but the sheer physical power of their sound indisputably demonstrates their passion for and understanding of this complex genre. Named for the prophet Ezra, who taught people his message in relatable words, the band is one of a number of exciting young artists who are finding a strong, individual voice with which to speak to the masses. Songs such as 'The Philosopher', 'I Have a God' and 'Reason in Disguise', whose single version was released by Ezra Collective and Jorja Smith, will move you deeply in a way that is seldom felt.
