What they say
Press quotes
“Joris Teepe has become musical partners with some of the best musicians in New York. This is due to his status as a bassist who possesses a warm, even tone, and a sympathic, swinging beat — but also to his abilities as a writer, arranger and band leader.”
“The Dutch bassist's tunes are peppered with arrangements inside arrangements. Always swinging, he and his cohorts squeeze memorable episodes out of open blowing sections.”
“Teepe has embraced Americana with a fervor undiluted by the ironic detachment with which most natives would feel obligated to filter their approach.”
