Subject: Congrats you debut at #28 on the CMJ Jazz Chart
The first chart where Billie Davies debuted at #1 was a Top Adds Chart (which is where new releases debut) and the current chart is the Top 40 Jazz Chart. To get on the Top 40 National Chart at all is not a given especially since there are hundreds of titles that are vying for space and there are only 40 slots. This is an above average result.

JAZZ/FUSION/AVANT-GARDE EL. GUITAR AND TRUMPET WANTED

Hi,
Just completed our move back to Napa from Hollywood and am getting musicians together for my next album: "12 Volt" .
We will be holding auditions in a couple of weeks at our studio in Napa, the house with another kind of a Rudy Van Gelder room.












All my music is improvisational... a conversation between musicians and musical instruments, a joint emotional expression inspired by a certain common feeling, thought or perspective that is being communicated to an audience, a listener, a community.



 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOOKING FOR  EXPERIENCED, IMPROVISATIONAL CATS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whether you consider yourself intermediate or expert... Besides working on a CD/Album recording of which certain songs are mentioned below, you need to want the "band, group" format, you need to love and have a yearning for interacting and growing with the same musicians continuously for an indefinite amount of time of playing, gigging, home, on the road and everywhere else...
This is NOT A "STUDIO" gig and CREATIVE CONTRIBUTION IS REQUIRED lol...

Love and Peace,
Billie Davies
