The Listening Room Event #12/13 - Ezra Collective

The Album:

Released on Friday 18th September, Ezra Collective's Here Because Of Hope is the most ambitious and personal record of their career - conceived as a body of work split into three spiritual and geographical movements, the album traces the movement of Black people across continents and decades, from the music of Africa to the rhythms of the Caribbean, and home to the streets of London.

On Here Because Of Hope, they push the vision of making jazz joyful, urgent and undeniable further than ever, asking a simple but profound question: why does so much Black music born out of pain sound so joyful? Their answer is hope: the belief, carried across generations and oceans, that something better is possible.

Anchored by collaborations with Pa Salieu, Lila Iké, Leona Lewis, and reaching across the full breadth of the global African diaspora (including America, where those same African and Caribbean roots gave birth to jazz itself) Here Because Of Hope is a record of remarkable warmth, ambition and humanity, and the sound of Britain's most vital band at the peak of their powers.

What To Expect On The Night?

Expect an evening of familiar faces gathering together to share in the joy of quality music discovery! Specifically, we will (re)open the shop doors at 6.30pm to welcome you in and give you all the chance to grab a drink and settle.

At 6.45pm we will introduce the album, then turn the lights down, offer you an eye mask and invite complete silence in advance of dropping the needle to give you the opportunity to disappear into the music. The evening will then last for as long as the album!

What Others Say About These Nights...

"Capsule Records continue to bring great music both familiar and not so familiar to the good people of Brighton & Hove (and beyond) via their listening experience evenings with the finest sound system it has been my pleasure to enjoy. Each selection is carefully thought about and listened to in advance to ensure those attending will have the optimal enjoyment on the night It has led to me viewing my own music collection in a fresh light with renewed enthusiasm and an appreciation for the input of those involved in the whole process'. Keith

"Thanks all for a wonderful evening. A profoundly moving and uplifting experience. To be transported into the studio, through such incredible audio and immersed in the sound from such great musicians. What a joy! Will be back for more". Nick

"In the dark, with a full house, we listened to each track in remarkable clarity. The double bass was wonderfully prominent, the drums had incredible precision, and the vocals of Fontella Bass and Roots Manuva (in particular) soared above the instrumentation, creating an unforgettable experience".
