   About The Beast

Infusing the best in jazz composition and improvisation with Hip-Hop poetry and soulful grooves, The Beast creates music to embrace and impassion people of all communities. Beautifully rebellious and refreshingly conscious, The Beast delivers a high level of energy and intimacy every time they take the stage.

Having met while earning their music degrees, The Beast’s exceptional rhythm section (pianist Eric Hirsh, bassist Pete Kimosh, drummer Stephen Coffman) had played together for over six years by the time they joined forces with emcee Pierce Freelon (son of Grammy nominated jazz vocalist, Nnenna Freelon). The quartet quickly discovered a powerful synergy and developed songs that have been praised as "eclectic and intricate Hip-Hop shot through with soul and Afro-Cuban influences” (The Independent Weekly).

The Beast’s debut EP, Belly, captured this genre-bending energy when it was released in September of 2008. The follow-up EP, Catalyst, is a free digital download that showcases The Beast in a live performance setting. Their highly anticipated full-length album (due fall 2009) encapsulates two years of progressive songwriting and risk-taking.
