If your attention wasn't caught by the artist's name, I'm sure it is by the track title.

I'm certain any fan of the contemporary jazz scene (especially in the UK) knows & loves Ezra Collective. The UK band just released their 3rd album called Dance, No One's Watching (listen & read my review) - an homage to the uplifting side of jazz, the world rhythms & the diversity in London.

The focus track "Palm Wine" is inspired by West Africa but also has majestic jazzy keys and a Latin/summer touch in its playful guitars and warm horns. The perfect way to start your day, I'd say.
