Jme And Swindle Join Ezra Collective For Grime-Jazz Fusion "Quest For Coin II"


November 19, 2020

Ezra Collective, Jme and Swindle are an intriguing combination, but the sound created on "Quest For Coin II" is a beautiful fusion of their combined creativity. The new collaboration is a reworked version of the original instrumental for "Quest For Coin" by Ezra Collective, uncovering a compelling connection between jazz and grime.

Grime hero Jme applies his distinct tone to Femi Koleoso's drums, spraying I draw for the pen, the mic is my skeng, the speaker's my bulletproof vest, as a reminder of his famed ability with words and trademark flawless diction. Swindle reimagines a smooth concoction of sounds, meshing the gritty nature of grime with the groovy beauty of jazz, bending both genres to his will while silky trumpets decorate the beat and jet us straight to New Orleans.

Delve into the grime-jazz hybrid below.
