Pre-Order: Ezra Collective – Chapter 7 (10th Anniversary Edition) [LP]

Description

Ezra Collectives Chapter 7, now celebrating its tenth anniversary, captured the restless energy of a young band finding its voice – spiritually curious, rhythmically fearless, committed to community as compass. Built on grooves made for sweat-slicked basements and late-night communion, its seven movements reveal a blueprint forming: jazz as a living expression of where you come from and who you stand with.

The Chapter 7 (10th Anniversary Edition) reissue revisits that formative statement from a band that would soon become trailblazers as both the first British jazz act to win the Mercury Prize, and then a BRIT Award. Remastered for vinyl and expanded with new incarnations – live cuts from NPR’s Tiny Desk and the bands landmark Royal Albert Hall performance – the reissue presents Chapter 7 not simply as an early document, but a living manifesto: rhythm as ritual, youth culture as sanctuary, and jazz as an open invitation.

Pressed on black vinyl, housed in a single sleeve jacket with printed inner sleeve, featuring credits and a message from the band.
