Ezra Collective – N29 | A COLORS SHOW
Comprising drummer and bandleader Femi Koleoso, bassist TJ Koleoso, keyboardist Joe Armon-Jones, trumpeter Ife Ogunjobi, and tenor saxophonist James Mollison, Ezra Collective have become a defining force in the UK music scene with their vibrant and boundary-pushing sound. Following early EPs like ‘Chapter 7’ and ‘Juan Pablo: The Philosopher’, the acclaimed London quintet went onto release their superb debut album ‘You Can’t Steal My Joy’ in 2019 before following it up with the equally impressive ‘Where I’m Meant to Be’ in 2022. This year, the band released their third album ‘Dance, No One’s Watching’, a rich tapestry of compositions that reflect a night out in the city.
In their debut on A COLORS SHOW, Ezra Collective light up the stage with a riveting rendition of ‘N29’, a highlight from the new album. With its delicate fusion of jazz, lounge, and amapiano, the track gracefully unfolds, as bright horns and subtle drum patterns create a mesmerizing rhythm that shifts fluidly through warm, inviting tones.
