Ezra Collective Live in Glasgow

Ezra Collective, the British jazz quintet that won the 2023 Mercury Prize, bring their genre-blending sound to Glasgow. The band fuses afrobeat, calypso, reggae, hip-hop, soul, and jazz into a kinetic live experience that has earned them a reputation as one of the most exciting acts in modern jazz.

Attendees can expect a high-energy set from the five-piece, featuring drummer and bandleader Femi Koleoso, bassist TJ Koleoso, keyboardist Joe Armon-Jones, trumpeter Ife Ogunjobi, and saxophonist James Mollison. Support comes from British rapper PA Salieu, adding a contrasting edge to the evening.

This is a rare chance to see a band that has headlined Glastonbury and been celebrated by everyone from Barack Obama to the Brit Awards, where they became the first jazz group to win Group of the Year in 2025. Their live shows are known for capturing the celebratory, approachable energy that defines their Mercury-winning album *Where I'm Meant to Be*.
