London jazz has a Los Angeles date this month. Ezra Collective plays The Regent Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, November 14, bringing one of the most celebrated live acts in modern jazz to a room built for exactly this kind of night.

The five piece, drummer Femi Koleoso, bassist TJ Koleoso, keyboardist Joe Armon-Jones, trumpeter Dylan Jones and saxophonist James Mollison, rose out of London’s young jazz scene and carried it onto the world stage. Their album Where I’m Meant To Be won the Mercury Prize in 2023, and the follow up, Dance, No One’s Watching, turned their sound outward toward the dance floor, folding Afrobeat, calypso, hip hop and grime into the jazz at the center of it.

Live is where the band’s reputation was made. An Ezra Collective show is built like a celebration, long improvisations, heavy grooves and a crowd that moves, which makes the Regent’s open floor the right setting for the Los Angeles stop.

We Speak Media will have photo coverage from The Regent on November 14.
