A Billie Davies update... as the old year comes to a close...

Photo of Billie taken by George McCall about a month ago .

Our album, all about Love, has been well received by the Jazz critics in the US, http://www.billiedavies.com/BillieDaviesTrio_Press.html, and according to the Radio reports, we have gotten quite a bit of Radio Play, in Canada, the US, South America and Europe...

We're still in Napa right now, but very busy loading everything in the RV and getting organized, waiting for a new toilet for the RV and Mike is busy getting the trailer ready for Maximum safe storage of music instruments and all kinds of stuff we cannot live without lol... .
Will send photos once our 'caravan' is ready... :)
We wish to leave Napa by/around December 10, my birthday... it's not written in stone yet, but it is what we are hoping for. And of course we will have a little small for good friends only going away party.
Then it's off South to L.A. where we will be finishing and recording "12 Volt", our new album, with Tom Bone Ralls on trombone, Manny Silvera on bass and very possibly some other players. After that we will start performing, so get ready for The Billie Davies Trio/Quartet to come to a town near you... LOL.

PS: Request your local Jazz Radio station or program to play our music, Tell your club, concert hall or theater to have us perform there... we should be available as of somewhere in February/March to start performing.

Love,
Billie

Billie Davies Trio, All About Love

All About Love

The term slow burn has been used to describe sensuality in music for decades. Billie Davies Trio is just that, a slow burn of improvisational ideas, coupled with complex rhythms and harmonic colors. Female Drummer Billie Davies, who originally hails from Belgium is at the helm, leading her trio through a well-balanced program of standards re-arranged and originals that complement each other in the context of this recording with ease. The main theme throughout is spaciousness, it permeates the overall concept of the album. Take the opening track “Stella by Starlight” a well-known standard that has been well-documented, but when in the hands of this apt trio it becomes like a firework show that bursts with originality. Trombonist Tom Bone Rails adds a clear yet inviting tone that cuts through nicely, yet adds a sense of warmth at the same time. Bassist Oliver Steinberg has a more mid-range tone that is effective in this setting, not overpowering the ‘slow burn,’ his ability to lay down a solid canvas while creating figures of interest, again further adds to the interest of the interaction and chemistry.

Originals such as “Green Cheese” add a depth of Avant to the proceedings, while “BUrst” is just that, an eruption of 32 seconds of pure energy. “High Noon” another wonderful original is driven by Davies nimble musings and scurrying rhythms, juxtaposed against Rails and Steinberg’s free improvising figures, all adding up to a comfortable, yet intriguing listen. This is not for the casual listener who lives in the swing zone – All About Love is just that, a true love story of the improvisation of jazz and its innate nature to stretch, pull and push the boundaries. The Billie Davies trio truly shows its devotion to the jazz idiom with this wonderful debut of creative modern borderline Avant-garde offering – truly a delight on many levels and I hope not the last from the Billie Davies Trio.
