Bebab Records is my own label which I founded at the age of 21. The name is a symbiosis of my name "Barbara" and "Bebop" because I have always loved playing Bebop tunes and one of my heroes has been the unforgettable Charlie Parker. At this period (around 1985) I was steadily touring with my quintet (with organ, alto and tenor saxophone, trombone and drums) for which I composed and wrote most of the arrangements.

I have always had my own ideas about music and I did not want to make any compromises in order to please people from a record company who might not understand my musical intention. All I wanted was to entertain the audience with the music I was dedicated to. This has always been the only possible way for me: To be honest with myself and the audience.

In the beginning of my career of course I did not have a big name yet but I knew exactly where I wanted to go with my playing and how to achieve this goal with my talent. This was probably the reason why none of the record companies was showing a big interest to release my music at that time. However, the first two records I had recorded before, have been in co-operation with a German organ company.

So,being quite sure about my goals, I contacted several distributors and found enough interest in a new recording of the B.D. quintet that I was able to finance my first own production. It was a live recording at the Allotria Jazzclub in Munich. Luckily the record was extremely successful and I achieved the "Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik" .

Following this success then the record companies were interested and since then I released many other records for different record companies (e.g. Koala, Enja, Verve), but I never stopped producing for my own label. And so far there are five other records with my own music and bands which are also available on this web-site. For all of my fans who really love the Hammond-organ I want to recommend my CD Solo. On that CD you can check out the pure Hammond-organ sound in a Solo concert, recorded without any overdubs. I just sat down and played in front of a great audience simply with my modified Hammond-organ and playing my foot-pedal bass.
