About
Bristol-based BEJE explores the jazz idiom with international collaborators. This latest project is led by maestro guitarist Enrico Merlin from Trento Italy. Above is a montage of their opening gig , mind bogglingly varied, to promote this exciting novel band to the world.
BEJE trio are Mattia Collu on drums Federico Leonori on bass and trumpeter David Mowat who also curates the flourishing ‘world music’ Cotham Club where this band was born. Linking Enrico to the trio is young avant-guard flautist-guitarist Fabio Ferri, once his acolyte.
“I’ve long wanted to break free of the North American Jazz tradition which all of us in BEJE owe so much to. With Enrico we feel a kindred soul effortlessly opening jazz improviser- wings, lifting off the mixed waters of prog rock, Zappa, and electric Miles. His holding suits my own warm simple trumpet cries very well.” – David Mowat
