  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...

Both Billie Davies, an american drummer from California, and Maude Caillat, a sax player from Switzerland, were currently working and residing in New Orleans. Damani had rented a house in the Lower Ninth Ward, which became Dangerous Art Studios, and was busy transforming it into the whole house and whatever sounds in it, showed in it and whomever entered it, being part of a work of art he was creating. The project would be experimental, completely improvisational audio art. Intuitive, instinctive in nature Damani would be doing his electronic loops, beats and waves while Caillat and Davies played whatever they played. Billie decided to use he...
