Ezra Collective / Celeste / Da Chick DJ — live event
Fusing elements of afrobeat, calypso, reggae, hip-hop, soul, and jazz, Ezra Collective quickly carved out space in the burgeoning London jazz scene after forming in 2016 when the members met as participants in the seminal youth program Tomorrow’s Warriors, created to encourage a greater diversity of young musicians entering jazz. The British quintet led by drummer Femi Koleoso features TJ Koleoso (bass), Joe Armon-Jones (keyboards), Ife Ogunjobi (trumpet), and James Mollison (tenor saxophone). Their latest LP Where I’m Meant To Be took home the 2023 Mercury Prize, awarded to the best British and Irish albums of the year. They’ll be joined by Celeste and a DJ set from Da Chick.
