Bassist Joris Teepe


Born in 1962 in the Netherlands, Joris Teepe has become known as one of the top bassists in jazz today, traveling frequently between Europe and his home in New York CIty for studio work, concert appearances and television appearances.

Awarded a master's degree in music from the prestigious Amsterdam School for the Arts, Teepe went on to study with Ron Carter and Peter Washington before emabrking on his own career, which includes the academic realm. He has taught the last several years at music conservatories throughout Europe and at the School fo the Arts in Porto Alegre, Brazil.

Teepe's two earlier CDs, Pay As You Earn and Bottom Line were widely acclaimed, and the bassist has helped buoy countless rhythm sections with a veritable who's who of jazz artists, including Randy Brecker, Slide Hampton, Renee Rosnes, the Harper Brothers and Candy Dulfer. His work with Tom Harrell led to a partnership of sorts with Don Braden, and in the past two years Teppe has also recorded with pianist Darrell Grant and saxophonist Joey Berkley.

For Adults Only features Chris Potter (sax), Don Braden (sax), David Hazeltine (p) and Bruce Cox (dr). The repertoire is a mix of new Teepe-originals and Teepe's arrangements of standards, including the Paul Simon song: "I Do It For Your Love".
