Terence Collie - Elements (2025)

Elements is a 48-minute journey through the natural elements - Air, Earth, Fire, Water and the all-encompassing piece Elements. The album blends the improvisational heart of jazz, the emotive pull of string compositions and the lyrical power of spoken word poetry.

The first four pieces are split into three sections: a reflective string prelude, a lively jazz piano trio performance and a concluding spoken word poem. The final piece, Elements, synthesises the entire experience, offering an emotive jazz performance followed by a poignant spoken word finale.

"This a fresh and refreshingly enjoyable album from Terence Collie successfully juxtaposing classical music, jazz and poetry and does so without resorting to cliché and avoiding the pitfalls that can blight such ambitious endeavours." - JAZZ VIEWS
