Femi K leads from the drumkit with tremendous authority, and his brother TJ on the bass adds even more gravitas and bounce. Keys player Joe Armon-Jones is riveted on the drum vibe, but so inventive and free-flowing. With a rhythm section laying it down so solidly, the frontmen have a beautiful wave to surf, and even they do it largely as a honed duet. Rare precision, togetherness and excellence
I had the pleasure to see them this past March in Berkeley, CA. It was an absolute PHOENOMINAL experience to see them live. I am willing to fly to London to see them again. They are worth it!!!
I've listened to a lot of their stuff, but this has to be one of their best performances. The transition in pure shade from the fast paced drum solo to the laid back beat at the end was so good
Yah's timing is perfect and your music is phenomenal. I say that accordingly. Yeshua is sovereign. You are pleasing throughout the chambers and alleyways. This is fundamentally correct.

I thought great innovative jazz was a thing of the past listened to mainly by old men like me. Then a friend of mine pointed me towards Ezra Collective -- also Theon Cross, Nubya Garcia

Every version of these songs is a different experience. Generational talents.
Their insight on music is just as great as their playing.

Fantastic and mind blowing introduced intoduced by nephew Jason who designed their band cover
I don’t get why there are so few views. They are phenomenal
Joe Armon-Jones is loving that piano! So different to hearing him on electric keys
Nothing better than watching incredible musicians working together. Damn this is good 💙
love these guys...always look like they are having so much fun! Isn't that what music is about? Joy.
Amazing!!! Refreshing Afro Jazz...with a flavour of Fela Kuti influence?
Come to Mexico!!!!!!!!!!❤
I'll second that!
Mexico needs some of this music
Thank you Ezra Collective. You guys blow me away! Seeing a band jam like you guys is beautiful music.
I feel like the film crew realized after the first 2 minutes that they screwed up by not having a camera on the keyboard! What an incredible band!
They're Mighty Stuff...

Dude I love these guys
🎉❤SUCH A BLESSING TO THE WORLD
Gigantic band! (the set looks like the Eric Andre show lol)

"Smile" was a hit for Nat King Cole, and Michael Jackson's favorite song, but don't forget the writer - Londoner Charlie Chaplin
