London jazz outfit Ezra Collective return with elastic new jam 'May The Funk Be With You'.
Out now, it follows their recent grime-centric release 'More Than A Hustler', a 140BPM workout featuring bars from Novelist.
'May The Funk Be With You' takes Ezra Collective back into instrumental territory, the clipped Femi Koleoso beat matched to astute piano chords from Joe Armon-Jones.
Crafted over lockdown, 'May The Funk Be With You' has a free 'n' easy feel, one that encapsulates the inherent chemistry that makes Ezra Collective so exciting.
"One of the blessings in the storm of lockdown was the opportunity to have jam sessions in the studio”, reflects bandleader Femi Koleoso. “No theme, no preparation, no plan – just let the funk happen organically. The magic of improvisation and spontaneity will always be part of Ezra Collective and 'May The Funk Be With You' perfectly encapsulates that.”
Ezra Collective will play 6Music festival in Cardiff on April 2nd, with the band playing a sold out warm up show in London's Village Underground on March 28th.
