"This is music with balls, artistry, and attitude from a player who has chops for days," wrote Just Jazz Guitar about Joost Zoeteman’s playing. Known for his distinctive guitar style—a fusion of jazz, gypsy jazz, and contemporary influences from around the world—Zoeteman brings a fresh and open approach to tradition.

Currently, he performs with two steady line-ups: his own trio, featuring award-winning drummer Wim de Vries and bassist Bart Tarenskeen, and his quartet with gypsy jazz virtuoso Paulus Schäfer. With the latter, they have also shared the stage at various festivals alongside the great Stochelo Rosenberg.

Zoeteman’s dynamic and expressive sound has led him to renowned stages such as the Hidrelliz Festival in Istanbul, Djangofollies, Khamoro Festival, and the North Sea Jazz Festival.
