EP 125 - Joris Teepe
Joris Teepe is an acoustic and electric bassist from Amsterdam and has lived in New York since 1992. He has led his own groups for 30 years and recorded 22 CD’s as a leader or co-leader and over 60 CD’s as a sideman.
Arriving in New York in 1992 with just his bass and a suitcase, he took lessons with bassist Ron Carter, quickly met many musicians and started to work a lot. A year later he recorded his first CD, with a band co-led by saxophonist Don Braden and featuring pianist Cyrus Chestnut, drummer Carl Allen and trumpeter Tom Harrell. From that point everything really took off for Joris and he became a bassist in great demand. He has been working with the “who-is-who in Jazz”, such as Benny Golson, Sonny Fortune, Rashied Ali, Billy Hart and Randy Brecker.
Teepe has composed 95 original compositions, including pieces for Symphony Orchestra & Small Jazz Group and Symphony Orchestra, Big Band, and Choir. He leads his own big band in New York, playing exclusively his own music, and performs his own repertoire as a guest soloist with local big bands. The JORIS TEEPE REAL BOOK will be released in 2024.
