Dance, No One's Watching - the new album from Mercury Prize winners Ezra Collective, is an ode to the sacred, yet joyous act of dancing. The album musically guides you through a night out in the city, from the opening of possibilities as a new evening spans out ahead, to dawn’s final hours as the night comes to a close.

Written during a blistering 2023 which saw Ezra Collective tour the world, and become the first jazz act to win the Mercury Prize, Dance, No One's Watching is a documentation of the many dance floors they encountered. From London to Chicago, Lagos to Sydney, dance and rhythm connect us. These songs are a testament to that spirit.

Ezra Collective: Femi Koleoso - Drums, TJ Koleoso - Bass, Joe Armon-Jones - Keys, James Mollison - Saxophone, Ife Ogunjobi - Trumpet

Overjoyed is an understatement. One of the most special weekends of our journey to date:

North Sea Jazz Festival
Stevie Wonder Opener at BST Hyde Park
Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul Festival

Each one unforgettable in its own way. To everyone who joined us on any of these dancefloors. Thank you.

EZ to the world.

Started playing drums when I was 3 years old and I fell in love with them - all my brothers have a similar story. You practice every day, hours and hours a day with the one dream you might get to play at Glastonbury festival. Saturday’s energy came from deep gratitude - we are the blessed ones that got to perform on that stage for you all. Thank you.
