Read full details
Ezra Collective, the British jazz quintet that won the 2023 Mercury Prize, bring their electrifying fusion of afrobeat, calypso, reggae, hip-hop, soul, and jazz to London. Formed by brothers Femi and TJ Koleoso alongside Joe Armon-Jones, Ife Ogunjobi, and James Mollison, the band met through the Tomorrow's Warriors jazz programme and have since become one of the most celebrated acts in modern British jazz.
Attendees can expect a high-energy set that captures the band's kinetic live power, blending instrumental virtuosity with collaborations from artists like PA Salieu. The group's music draws from spiritual jazz, Afrobeat, and dance music, creating an approachable yet deeply rooted sound that has earned them accolades including the Brit Award for Group of the Year in 2025.
This concert offers a rare chance to experience a band that has been praised for crossing over to the big league, with a live show that never dips in energy. The band's 2024 single "God Gave Me Feet for Dancing" was selected by Barack Obama for his list of 25 favourite tracks of the year.
