‘Yunmi Sang and the BEJE Trio' is a unique Korean-European soulful and pastoral jazz fusion with a one-world mission. Hatched in Bristol in 2018 when Yunmi Kang and Sangyeon Park (‘Yunmi Sang’ is actually a contraction of their full names) met David Mowat of BEJE; journalist Jon Turney remarked at the time "Kang's voice is astonishingly good...The blend with Mowat's clear-toned trumpet gave the whole thing something of the air of the great Azimuth, with Norma Winstone and Kenny Wheeler. They turned the lofty space of St Stephens into a place of refuge and refreshment.”

Thelonious Monk and Charles Mingus were both maverick composer/performers who shaped the course of jazz at the peak of bebop in the 1950s. Pete Canter will be playing both saxophone and double bass, accompanied by Philip Clouts at the piano, in a programme of their music.

Pianist Thelonious Monk had a unique improvisational style and made numerous contributions to the jazz repertoire, including Round Midnight and Blue Monk.

Charles Mingus played the double bass, with a career spanning three decades and collaborations with other jazz musicians such as Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Herbie Hancock.

Pete Canter has recorded several albums which have been very well received, and played at major UK festivals including the Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Teignmouth Jazz Festival, Bude Jazz Festival  and Exeter Vibraphonic.
