Celebrating the Jazz Clubs
Pianist Terence Collie is joined by Nick Lenner-Webster on double bass and Chris Nickolls on drums for an afternoon of dynamic contemporary acoustic jazz, featuring original music from his last three albums alongside fresh and inventive arrangements of well-loved standards.
Pianist & composer Terence Collie has steadily built a reputation as a distinctive voice on the UK jazz scene. Known for his lyrical touch, sophisticated harmonic sensibility, and deep groove, his work bridges contemporary jazz with cinematic & classical influences. Over the last few years, Collie has released a series of critically acclaimed albums, most recently Elements (2025), which brought together a jazz trio, strings and spoken word in an ambitious suite exploring the natural world. His previous albums, 384,400 (a quartet album featuring his trio with saxophonist Roberto Manzin) and Reminiscent (a reflective and intimate solo piano recording), also received praise for their originality and emotional depth.
For this special afternoon performance, Terence will be joined by two of the UK’s most accomplished jazz musicians: Nick Lenner-Webster on double bass and Chris Nickolls on drums. Both long-time collaborators form a tightly knit, expressive rhythm section that brings Collie’s music vividly to life. The trio’s intuitive interplay, subtle dynamics, and rhythmic invention allow for rich improvisation while staying rooted in strong melodic storytelling. The set will feature music from Terence’s last three albums, showcasing a range of moods and textures — from the reflective and spacious to rhythmically driving and harmonically adventurous. Expect thoughtful compositions, memorable themes and emotionally resonant playing throughout. Alongside the original material, the trio will present a selection of reimagined jazz standards. These arrangements bring a fresh perspective to familiar tunes, blending respect for tradition with a creative, modern twist.
This performance offers an opportunity to hear a trio at the height of its powers, delivering music that is both deeply personal and widely accessible. For Terence, this concert is a chance to celebrate the evolving journey of his music with an audience in an intimate setting.
