About Ezra Collective

Ezra Collective is a British jazz quintet formed by Femi Koleoso, TJ Koleoso, Joe Armon-Jones, Ife Ogunjobi, and James Mollison. The members met at the jazz youth programme Tomorrow's Warriors and established the group shortly thereafter. The band incorporates elements of afrobeat, calypso, reggae, hip-hop, soul, and jazz. They have collaborated with other London-based jazz musicians such as Nubya Garcia and Moses Boyd. Ezra Collective received the 2023 Mercury Music Prize. Their 2024 single 'God Gave Me Feet for Dancing' was included in Barack Obama's list of 25 favorite songs of the year. At the Brit Awards 2025, they became the first jazz band to win the "Group of the Year" award.
