Ezra Collective Live in Bristol

Ezra Collective, the Mercury Prize-winning British jazz quintet, bring their electrifying fusion of afrobeat, calypso, reggae, hip-hop, soul, and jazz to Bristol. Known for their kinetic live energy, the band—featuring drummer Femi Koleoso, bassist TJ Koleoso, keyboardist Joe Armon-Jones, trumpeter Ife Ogunjobi, and saxophonist James Mollison—met at the Tomorrow's Warriors jazz programme and have since become one of the most celebrated acts in modern jazz.

Attendees can expect a high-energy set that captures the band's signature blend of spiritual jazz and Afrobeat, with tracks from their acclaimed albums *You Can't Steal My Joy* and *Where I'm Meant to Be*. The group's live performances are renowned for their celebratory atmosphere, seamlessly weaving together instrumental virtuosity and lyrical collaborations. This is a rare chance to see a band that has broken barriers, becoming the first jazz act to win both the Mercury Prize and a Brit Award for Group of the Year.
