Album Notes

The members of Beep! met in 2001 while attending the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. In each other they recognized a common direction: a pull towards musical exploration, creativity and integrity. Through years of playing together the trio has developed a unique group dynamic that fully showcases each other’s abilities. In any given tune, the three musicians are always changing what they do, playfully exploring new rhythms and embarking on melodic journeys. Their powerful sound stems in a large part from deeply sensing each other’s playing, each instrument breathing life into the others. Beep! endeavors to find new ways to play standard jazz repertoire, pop songs and folk music while consistently composing original works. The trio currently resides in the Bay Area and will be touring the west coast this summer to promote their debut CD, Short Stories.
