Йорис Типпе. Ученик Рона Картера, композитор, продюсер и педагог -- Типпе легко «вписался» в джазовую элиту Америки, завоевав высшую награду в категории «Артист, заслуживающий всенародного признания» (Artistdeservingwiderrecognition). "...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." (Peter Washington, New York). Bassist Joris Teepe is the first jazz musician from The Netherlands to be able to make it in New York. Arriving in New York in 1992 with just his bass and a suitcase, he took lessons with 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 Don Braden and featuring Cyrus Chestnut, Carl Allen and 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. Coming from a bebop background it was being a member of the Rashied Ali Quintet for 9 years what really changed his vision on music. "When I joined the group we first had Frank Lowe on saxophone (later replaced by Lawrence Clark) and I had no idea what they were doing". Currently Joris has recorded 10 albums as a leader. He also established himself as a composer, record producer (many different labels and artists), educator (director of Jazz Studies at the Hanze University, Bass Professor at Queens College, NY) and bandleader. In 2004 Joris Teepe has been nominated for the Bird Award at the North Sea Jazz Festival in the category "Artist deserving wider recognition". Teepe's work as a writer and arranger makes a substantial contribution to his artistic statement. 41 of his original compositions have been recorded on 16 different CD's. His hip arrangements of Benny Golson's "Whisper not ", Billy Strayhorn's "Chelsea Bridge" and Randy Brecker's "Some Skunk Funk" are becoming well known in the Jazz Community. He has arranged music for many singers, such as Deborah Brown, Fay Claassen, Nana, MathildeSanting. Recently Joris Teepe has been writing for large ensembles. He wrote an extensive repertoire for Big Band and for Nonet, and several larger pieces for Jazz Quartet and Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra works were premiered in October 2007 with the North Netherlands Symphony, conducted by Jan Stoelen and featuring Don Braden, Gene Jackson and David Berkman . The Big Band repertoire was premiered in April 2008 with the National Radio Big Band in Bucharest Romania. In 2012 a piece was premiered for Choir, Big Band and Symphony Orchestra entitled "Work, work , work" and it was conducted by John Clayton. http://joristeepe.com/
