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...
