Why You Shouldn't Miss Ezra Collective at Fållan in Stockholm
When Ezra Collective play in Stockholm in February 2027, it's about more than just a jazz concert. Here's everything you need to know about the quintet that has renewed an entire genre and why their live performances have become legendary.
The British jazz collective Ezra Collective have quickly become known as one of the most exciting live acts in modern jazz. When they play at Fållan in Stockholm on 11 February 2027, Swedish fans will finally get the chance to experience the energy that has made their concerts something truly special.
Ezra Collective consists of five musicians who grew up together in London's music scene. Brothers Femi and TJ Koleoso on drums and bass respectively form the group's rhythmic foundation, whilst Joe Armon-Jones on keyboard, Dylan Jones on trumpet and James Mollison on saxophone complete the ensemble. Their shared musical journey has resulted in a sound that blends traditional jazz with afrobeat, dancehall and hip-hop.
When the group became the first jazz act to win the Mercury Prize in 2023, it marked not only a personal breakthrough but also a shift in how jazz is perceived and consumed. Their music has shown that the genre can be both accessible and intellectually stimulating, danceable and deep at the same time.
What really sets Ezra Collective apart from many other jazz acts is their live performances. Where some jazz collectives create a contemplative atmosphere, Ezra Collective build an energy that gets the entire venue moving. Their concerts have been described as a blend of jazz club and dancehall, where the boundaries between genres blur and the audience becomes an active part of the experience.
Fållan in Stockholm offers a perfect setting for this type of intimate yet intense concert. The venue is known for its good acoustics and proximity to the stage, which means you as an audience member can truly feel the music's dynamics. For those wanting to prepare, it's recommended to listen through the albums Where I'm Meant to Be and Dance, No One's Watching to get a sense of the group's range.
Seeing Ezra Collective live is about experiencing how jazz can sound when it's not constrained by expectations. It's music that both demands and gives energy, that challenges whilst also welcoming. For those who appreciate live music where improvisation meets precision, this is a concert to plan for.
Stockholm has over the years seen many great jazz names on its stages, from legendary clubs to larger arenas. Ezra Collective's visit continues that tradition but also brings something new, a reminder that jazz is still a living and evolving art form.
For those considering going, it's worth bearing in mind that this type of concert tends to sell out well in advance. Venues like Fållan have limited capacity, which creates a special atmosphere but also means that tickets can sell out quickly. The price is 1,695 SEK, which places the event in the mid-range for jazz concerts in Stockholm.
Whether you're an experienced jazz listener or curious about what modern jazz can offer, Ezra Collective are a group that demonstrates the genre's breadth and potential. Their visit to Fållan in February is an opportunity to experience music that both honours the past and points forward.
