About the Artist
The name comes from Zaphod BeebleBrox, the main character in author Douglas Adams' science fiction satire ?The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.' BeebleBrox' music combines the elements of jazz, rock, funk, and world music to create a new sound, while keeping the fusion traditions of artists such as Weather Report, The Mahavishnu Orchestra and Chick Corea's Return to Forever. You can hear many influences in the music of BeebleBrox, but their sound is unique!
BeebleBrox was first formed in Albstadt, Germany in 1983 by Peter Kienle. After teaming up with Monika Herzig in 1988, Kienle moved the group to the United States, to Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Herzig, composer as well as a respected jazz pianist, has recently been awarded a Down Beat magazine award for her composition, "Let's Fool One," and received a doctorate in music education and jazz studies from Indiana University.

In 1990, BeebleBrox released its debut recording, Entropy, followed in 1991 by the release of The Thing, then Bloomingtoon in 1992, Raw Material in 1994 ,Quantumn Tweezers, in 1996, Indianapolis Intergalactic Spaceport in May 1997, and Dominant Domain, featuring saxohponist Bob Berg in October 1998. BeebleBrox, along with these spirited recordings, has been featured in prestigious jazz magazines including JAZZIZ, Jazz Times, and Cadence.

The success of these seven albums and BeebleBrox' steady festival and club work has led to appearances in major venues with Sting, Santana, Diana Ross, Bette Midler, Tower of Power, and the DIxie Dregs, and to regular performances in major regional music festivals.
