Hoos Collective & In the Name of Ra

Hoos Collective and In The Name Of Ra join forces for a night of vibrant contemporary jazz. Drawing influence from hip-hop, afrobeat, world music and improvisation, both bands harness raw energy on stage. Come and shake a leg. 

Hoos Collective is a London formed 6-piece instrumental band that blurs the line between jazz and hip-hop. Their music is a captivating fusion of dynamic, bouncy dance rhythms and harmonious, soulful melodies. With their debut EP ‘Deep’ being premiered at the renowned Jazz Re:freshed night in November 2023, their 2nd EP ‘Missing Steps’ being premiered at Jazz Cafe in October 2025, and their successful performances at the EFG London Jazz Festival in November 2024, and Ronnie Scott’s in 2026, Hoos Collective are establishing themselves as an emerging force in the contemporary London jazz scene. 

In The Name of Ra draws on the energies of those around us and those that have come before to bring an eclectic, vibrant and powerful sound to the stage. Founded in 2023, we take inspiration from world, jazz and free improvisation, striving to inspire our listeners to dance and move freely to unlock the rhythms and spirit deep inside. Previous performances include at Vortex Jazz Bar, Lancaster Jazz Festival, Oliver's Jazz Bar, Jazz Re:freshed and previously at Grow at a Thursday Jam.
