  A new album release by drummer Billie Davies, "Retrospectives (In The Key Of Jazz)". A retrospective of never before released music created during a 6 year period, 90 minutes of Free Improvisation, Beyond Jazz, Avant-garde in the key of Jazz music. To be released and distributed thanks to ReverbNation and Bandcamp on April 20, 2025. All of Billie Davies' music is improvisational. A conversation between musicians, a joint emotional expression inspired by a certain common feeling, thought or perspective that is being communicated to an audience, a listener, a community. An expression that is free of dogma and styles or fashions or politics or religions or trends. An expression that comes from way deep down and can stand on its own and is a reflection of our society, our tribe, our life, our universe.

  The Musical Evolution of Billie Davies Miles Davis has been my greatest inspiration in my life as a professional musician and musical artist. Drummer  Billie Davies ' journey began in the north of Europe in coastal Belgium where she was born and raised. Davies was involved with two bands while living in Holland, in Terneuzen, a semi coastal port town. One band scored a lot of gigs with festivals and parties versus the other, who only played a few times in Belgium, in Bruges and in Blankenberge. She moved to the south of France near the Spanish border in Catalan or Basque Country, an area between Montpellier in Provence where there was a large Romani population. Davies was now surrounded by the tranquility that she always longed to be close to, which are palm trees. In Montpellier France, Davies met blues guitarist Claude Mazet. It was during this time that she began to play music in all of its formats. By  La-Faithia White December 29, 2024 All About Jazz https://www.al...
