Teis Semey, the “bad boy of Dutch jazz” (Trouw), is recognised by a fierce and explosive style of playing improvised music. Semey’s music takes place in the cross-section between jazz, punk and electronic improvised music.
Someone who has heard Semey on multiple occasions, will know that besides being a supportive player, he is an inventive orchestrator with his instrument.
“Semey’s playing grabs you by the shoulders, and screams a story into your face. But a story with depth and nuance”, Jazzism wrote about Semey.
“Teis Semey has the aggression of punk and the sensibility of choral music”, NRC wrote.
On his third full length album Mean Mean Machine (Zennez Records), the Danish guitarist uses the full range of his sound palette to bring us a “punk-infused avant-garde indie-jazz album”.
