Chapter 7 by Ezra Collective, ten years of audacious jazzChapter 7 by Ezra Collective, which celebrates its tenth anniversary today, already captured the vibrant energy of a young group coming into its own, driven by spiritual curiosity, rhythmic audacity, and a deep commitment to community as a compass. Carried by grooves made for feverish basements and nights of communion, its seven movements sketch a vision in the making: that of a living jazz, rooted in its origins and turned toward others.The reissue Chapter 7 (10th Anniversary Edition) revisits this foundational work of a group that would quickly establish itself as a pioneer, becoming the first British jazz group to win the Mercury Prize, and later a BRIT Award. Remastered for vinyl and enriched with new versions, including live recordings from NPR's Tiny Desk and the landmark concert at the Royal Albert Hall. This reissue presents Chapter 7 not merely as a testament to youth, but as a true manifesto: rhythm as ritual, youth culture as refuge, and jazz as an open invitation.
