Teis Semey Quintet

Quintet full of energy moves between free jazz, indie pop, and rock.

The Danish guitarist Teis Semey, nicknamed 'the bad boy of Dutch jazz', shows with his quintet what happens when free jazz, indie pop, and rock collide. The five musicians throw all caution to the wind, but keep the interplay sharp in detail. What remains is a group that fully lets go in the moment, without losing control.

The quintet has played in recent years at North Sea Jazz Festival, London Jazz Festival, and Copenhagen Jazz Festival, and was a showcase artist at jazzahead! and Footprints Touring Artists. These stages have toughened the band: young in years, but with the routine of seasoned players. For those who love music that seeks the new and the daring, this is a band you must see.

'A beautiful success, colorful and inventive, full of energy and beauty' (Citizen Jazz).
