“What a joyous night. David Mowat and BEJE played extraordinary takes on regular Jazz standards along with some very moving, contemporary own compositions, beautifully executed”.

Kate O’Loughlin, Portishead Speakeasy

“..Stomping hard bop like First Past the Post and slower, lovely impressionistic pieces like The Levels (soft bop?). Great playing!”

Ros Cuthbert, CICCIC, Taunton

“To listen to the band was like taking a journey with the author-trumpet player as the guide. The journey was magical, psychedelic and warm like a dark sky full of stars. Definitely a special journey”
