Description
"....the tunes incorporate an exceptional level of creativity, both in terms of composition and instrumentation...." -Dave McElfresh, Cadence Magazine
"Unlike most contemporary jazz groups, BeebleBrox's compositions are expressionistic and refreshingly off the beaten path, integrating jazz, rock, classical and Latin elements." -JazzTimes
Testimonials
"Dr. Monika Herzig and Peter Kienle are once again at the forefront of modern jazz-rock-fusion. This disc demonstrates what the many incarnations of Bloomington's jazz fusioneers BeebleBrox do best - cross boundaries, blend styles, break rules and have lots of fun doing it. Musicality and imagination are prerequisites to being part of this." -Mark Harris, Indianapolis Jazz Foundation Newsletter Fall 97

Artist Profile

BeebleBrox has been featured in prestigious jazz magazines including JAZZIZ, Jazz Times, and Cadence.
