As the sun sets on Wednesday evening, step into Pure Heaven for a transformative night with trailblazing London jazz collective Ezra Collective. Few bands have reshaped the musical landscape quite like them. In 2023, they toured the globe and made history as the first jazz act to win the Mercury Prize, a landmark moment that propelled them onto an even bigger world stage.

Their latest album, Dance, No One’s Watching, captures the spirit of that extraordinary year. It’s a love letter to the dance floors they encountered around the world, a celebration of movement, joy and the shared human instinct to gather and let go. The record unfolds like a night out in the city: the spark of possibility as evening begins, the pulse and colour of the dance floor, and the soft glow of dawn as the night draws to a close. From Henley to Chicago, Lagos to Australia, rhythm is the thread that connects us.

Since the album’s release in 2024, Ezra Collective have continued to break new ground for UK jazz. They are the first UK jazz band to win a BRIT Award (Group of the Year), with four nominations in total, and have achieved a UK Top 10 album, playlisting on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, a Live Lounge performance and a place on the BBC Sound Of poll. Their rise is nothing short of seismic and their Henley performance promises to be unforgettable.
