New Album/CD Release... "all about Love", The Billie Davies Trio

© 2012 , Billie Davies. All rights reserved.
Going back in time, find some wonderful classics, and give them a contemporary/improvisational twist...
It gives her the greatest pleasure, fills her with joy, to be able to bring back these particular songs with a new, more contemporary perspective to an audience.



I would describe this music as "contemporary modal with a romantic twist" or perhaps "neo-Cool Jazz". It's VERY West Coast. Very much like Freddie Hubbard, Tony Williams, Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy & Jackie McLean but in 2012.
Lyrical, good phrasing, nice rhythms but at the same time very approachable and listenable even for non jazz audiences. Post-Cool Jazz!!
