London-based jazz quintet Ezra Collective hits KCRW’s Annenberg Performance Studio with rapturous live interpretations of cuts from their 2022 album Where I’m Meant To Be, including “Victory Dance,” “Welcome To My World,” and “Smile.” Sonorous bass, extended jams, and love for the grand piano abound.
Drummer and bandleader Femi Koleoso, along with his brother (and the band’s bassist) TJ Koleoso also join Novena Carmel to talk about how they make music, a love for Chicago House, and taking drum lessons from Afro-beat pioneer Tony Allen.
