TWQ, short for Thomas Wessels Quintet, is a versatile band that delivers a unique and dynamic live experience. The current lineup features singer Britt Teeling, drummer Rachid Rejaibi, pianist Thijmen Schoute, trumpet player Thomas Wessels, and bassist Florean Kruijswijk Jansen. Together, they create an exciting musical blend that immediately captures the audience’s attention.

TWQ combines well-known songs with influences from American, West European, and African music. As a result, the band produces a fresh and distinctive sound. Their repertoire varies depending on the occasion. For example, they perform relaxed background music during drinks, but they can also turn the evening into a lively dance experience. Their music draws inspiration from jazz, disco, and soul, which ensures a broad appeal.

Moreover, TWQ is a perfect choice for weddings, corporate events, and special gatherings. The band consistently delivers polished performances that audiences truly appreciate. In addition, they have performed at well-known venues such as Taets Art Gallery, Adam Tower, Club Air, Koetshuis de Zadelhof, Harbour Club, Jazz Hotel, and Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin.

Although TWQ is rooted in jazz, the musicians master a wide range of styles, including funk, R&B, hip-hop, bebop, swing, soul, and Latin. Therefore, their performances feel rich and diverse. By using improvisation and creative freedom in melody and harmony, they bring their own stories into the music. This improvisational element keeps every show fresh, engaging, and full of energy.
