BILLIE DAVIES And The Bad Boyzzzz Ensemble, Avant Garde Jazz from New Orleans.

BILLIE DAVIES And The Bad Boyzzzz Ensemble, Avant Garde Jazz from New Orleans. ~~~ Female Avant Garde Jazz Drummer Billie Davies is bringing something radically new to the idiom of modern jazz in various ways which, in its purest essence, incorporates everything in its collective subconscious amalgam that has come before. Billie Davies' music is unapologetically moving in the direction of “true art” and plays with colors, moods, movements, feelings and interactions, a paradoxically more advanced concept of expression.

Billie Davies, Hand in Hand in the Hand of the Moon (Album Review)

Billie Davies, Hand in Hand in the Hand of the Moon (Album Review)  In OffBeat Magazine in New Orleans. Billie Davies, Hand In Hand In The Hand Of The Moon (Independent) OCTOBER 28, 2015 by:   NOÉ CUGNY LEAVE A COMMENT Avant-garde music really finds its beauty in the way it rids musical expression of a number of conceptual restraints, leaving the core of the artist’s emotion to be exposed bare. This kind of intimate connection with the listener is what drummer Billie Davies offers in her release Hand in Hand in the Hand of the Moon. The album, a symphony in eight movements dedicated to Belgian painter Serge Vandercam, was recorded in one take, with each movement inspired by a different painting by Vandercam. Davies invites musicians to converse freely around pieces of visual art created in a session she spent with Vandercam in 1995. That type of experimentation in music allows her to draw connections between different individuals and their ideas, through different art forms, ...
