For those who want to know! Ezra Collective is: TJ Koleoso - Bass Femi Koleoso - Drums Dylan Jones - Trumpet Joe Armon-Jones - Piano James Mollison - Tenor Saxophone
Fyi, the drummer, Femi Koloeso, is a member of Jorja Smith’s backing band. He absolutely killed it in their Teenage Fantasy’s live performance for BRITs
Been listening to them for about a year now, but realised I've never listened to them live. Every single part of this was immaculate, but the drummer and the trumpet catapulted me into a different fucking universe. Amazing work, keep it up.
Quel talent ! Musique inspirée, bénéfique énergisante qui ressemble à une synthèse de ce que le jazz présente de meilleur : l'inspiration de Trane, l'énergie de Wynton Marsallis, le groove de Parker, la poésie de Miles... + Un touche latino subtile. C'est parfait !
I've discovered your band last night in my mum's car, I was listening to the radio, don't remember which one. Anyway this is GREAT, WELL DONE !!!!!!!!!!! Love and Joy from France, Carole
Miles Davis would be so fucking jealous of these guys... LOL! Seriously. This is it... That Jimi Hendrix envy was the catalyst to his whole fusion ignition. This is is what he envisioned... Fresh fire jazz with that edge of the current moment. FI-YA!!
OK, so what's with the Conn 10M saxophones I've been seeing in all these Sofar clips? I've watched 3 different sax players playing the same brand of vintage saxophone. Is the 10M a big deal in the UK?
The track sounds vaguely similar to Caravan, but on 6:08 it is identical. Are they playing a variation of that, or was it a coincidence? Couldn't help but notice 😅
I am now 72 years old. I have been listening to jazz all my life. To me Femi Koleoso is among the greatest jazz drummers of all time.
Just discovering this group; you're not kidding. Unbelievable.

And here comes the Mercury Prize 2023 to them! Well done, chaps!
Yo Sofar, could you put the names of the musicians and their instrument in the description next time? Would be extra dope :) Cheers!
Damn! The Koleoso brothers bringing that fire!
Been listening to them for about a year now, but realised I've never listened to them live. Every single part of this was immaculate, but the drummer and the trumpet catapulted me into a different fucking universe. Amazing work, keep it up.

คนละครึ่งน่าจะเท่าเทียมกัน

Does the piano have distortion?
The track sounds vaguely similar to Caravan, but on 6:08 it is identical. Are they playing a variation of that, or was it a coincidence? Couldn't help but notice 😅
