New Album/CD Release... "all about Love", The Billie Davies Trio

© 2012 , Billie Davies. All rights reserved.
Going back in time, find some wonderful classics, and give them a contemporary/improvisational twist...
It gives her the greatest pleasure, fills her with joy, to be able to bring back these particular songs with a new, more contemporary perspective to an audience.



I would describe this music as "contemporary modal with a romantic twist" or perhaps "neo-Cool Jazz". It's VERY West Coast. Very much like Freddie Hubbard, Tony Williams, Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy & Jackie McLean but in 2012.
Lyrical, good phrasing, nice rhythms but at the same time very approachable and listenable even for non jazz audiences. Post-Cool Jazz!!
Recording: George Radai.
Mixing: Mike Davies, Billie Davies.
Mastering: John Vestman at Vestman Mastering on 05/18/2012 in HD format.
Recording & Sound Technology/Engineering Management: Mike Davies.
A Cobra Basement production.

Album Title: all about Love.
Estimated Release Date: June 06, 2012.
Musicians
On Trombone: Tom Bone Ralls

Happy March... :-)

happy springtime is here...
happy the band has tightened up and ready to get into the studios one more time to finish "all about Love".
It looks pretty much as if we will be a Trio for most of it, but surprises never come announced, otherwise it would not be a surprise... :-D ...

Tom, Oliver and I will also be ready to perform soon, so stay tuned for more info on dates and locations... another surprise...  lol

Love,
Billie
