Ronnie's Lates: East with Hoos Collective

Hoos Collective, a six-piece jazz act from London, play the third show in the Ronnie's Lates series at The Jago in East London, part of a run that moves the Ronnie Scott's Late Late Show format out of Soho.

The concert is the third instalment of the Ronnie's Lates series, which takes the atmosphere of the Ronnie Scott's Late Late Show from Soho to grassroots venues across London. This edition places the London six-piece Hoos Collective at The Jago, a venue in East London that hosts concerts and shows across the city.

Hoos Collective combine jazz with hip hop, house, drum and bass and Afrobeat, producing high-energy instrumental music that resists easy classification. Their debut EP, Deep, was previewed at the jazz re:freshed night in 2023, and their second EP, Missing Steps, was premiered at the Jazz Cafe's Future Jazz Showcase in 2025. The group has also performed at the EFG London Jazz Festival.

The band's live shows are built on tight grooves, soulful melodies and spontaneous improvisation. The evening suits listeners interested in the contemporary London jazz scene and in the crossover between jazz and electronic and African-rooted styles.
