Formed by bandleader Femi Koleoso (drums), his brother TJ Koleoso (bass), Joe Armon-Jones (keys), Dylan Jones (trumpet), and James Mollison (saxophone),\u00a0London quintet Ezra Collective is one of the most exciting bands of the new English Jazz scene.<\/p>\n

Drawing\u00a0from\u00a0Afrobeat, Latin music, as well as from Hip-Hop and Grime – their unique blend and inclusive approach to music has seen them break out way beyond the thriving UK Jazz scene. Their 2017 EP\u00a0Juan Pablo: The Philosopher\u00a0<\/em>earned them Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide\u00a0\u2018Best Jazz Album\u2019 Award, just as their unmatched stage energy also earned them Jazz FM’s\u00a0\u2018Best UK Jazz Act\u2019\u00a0and \u2018Live Experience Of The Year\u2019 Awards\u00a0in 2018<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
