Terence Collie Quartet + London String Group Trio

Live at Palladino’s Jazz Bar, Cardiff. Pianist and composer Terence Collie brings his acclaimed album DNA to Palladino’s Jazz Bar in Cardiff for a special evening of contemporary jazz, featuring an exceptional seven-piece ensemble.

Rooted in Collie’s Seychelles heritage, DNA is a deeply personal musical exploration of identity, ancestry and belonging. Blending contemporary jazz with African influences, lyrical piano and evocative string arrangements, the music moves between intimate, reflective passages and exhilarating ensemble playing. The concert will feature music from DNA and Collie’s album Elements, alongside fresh arrangements of some well-known jazz standards. With piano, double bass, drums, percussion, and a live string trio, the ensemble creates a distinctive sound that blends jazz spontaneity with the expressive depth of chamber music.

The line-up: Terence Collie – piano, Nick Lenner-Webster – double bass, Ted Carrasco – drums, Davide Pasqualini – percussion, Ruth Elder – violin, Clare Kennington – viola, Jocasta Mudge – cello.
