The Very Final Line-up for The Billie Davies Band.
I know, I know, you will be saying that we change all the time, ... but, did you not want to know the process, the evolution, the musical growth of The Billie Davies Band...everything else, from flowers to birds change everyday... :)
Well, here is another update...
Jacob Joon somehow could not make our cut either a week or so into it to both Daniel and my surprise, so we went on a search for another "different" bass player and, so I am very happy to announce that we actually have found, coming out of the blue..., the perfect Bass for this music in ADAM LEVY.
THE VERY FINAL LINE-UP FOR THE BILLIE DAVIES BAND.
Billie Davies- drums
Daniel Coffeng- guitar
Adam Levy- bass
... this time I know we have found each other. My calling has been answered, and the answer came in the shape of Billie Davies- Drums, from Brugge, Daniel Coffeng- Guitar, from Amsterdam, Adam Levy- Bass, from Tampa.
Daniel and I came to the US in search of the roots of Jazz, following a calling, something we could not find somehow in Europe. We felt an energy driving us here and we had somehow no choice but to follow it, and maybe that energy has now manifested itself and completed its purpose, as both of us found ourselves here in L.A. and found each other actually feeling good, happy, constructive, renewed, reborn through our music as we started playing together.
Daniel and I communicate so well together and Adam joined that communication easily and definitely comes up with a nice and solid bass sound for our music... So, here we are, closer then ever before to the music we love to play so so so much... a dream come true.. and so much more to learn.
Ad to that the affinities of my husband, Mike Davies in recording and sound technology and we have the perfect team to complete our message in this life, after all Daniel and I had heard that message way back in Europe...

“LOUD AND CLEAR”
What Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins
accomplished in “The Shape of Jazz to Come” was not in vain, I and others heard
it!!!
“LOUD AND CLEAR”
It was their roots, It is our roots, answering, calling, and continuing the
Mission of Art in Jazz, Art in Music, of liberating the notes to be free and the sounds to be
re-invented, re-explored, so that others will hear and see and may feel the
ROOTS!!
So that others may IDENTIFY with it. As We Did.
So that this extremely FREE, Heart Beating, Soul Searching, Mind Bending
form of FINE ART through the medium of MUSIC... be still here
after WE are gone...
UNCONSTRAINED by DOGMA, POLITICS, FASHION, TRENDS, aND mONEY.

Introducing The Billie Davies Band... Yes, the name has changed.
INTRODUCING:
The Billie Davies Band...Yessss!!! The name has changed...
BILLIE DAVIES- Drums
DANIEL COFFENG- Guitar
MANNY SILVERA- Bass
and last but not least, MIKE DAVIES- Recording and Sound Technology.
Currently working on the new album, "12 Volt "... The whole idea for "12 Volt" came to me as we started feeling ready to move away from Hollywood and return to nature and a little more simplicity. The home in Napa became the perfect suited place for laying down the foundation for "12 Volt" as it is wine country, as well as being very much similar to some of the Wine regions in France, especially the Bordeaux regions around the city of Bordeaux, bordering Basque country, but also a lot like Tuscany...
That is where I lived the bohemian life, from Montpellier to Perpignan to Toulouse and to Biarritz and La Rochelle and then into the Bordeaux region, and performed and toured with all kinds of musicians, one in particular, Claude Mazet, an amazing blues and jazz guitar player made it so that everything electric in the RV ran on 12 volt, it is also that country where I ended up living for months with a gypsy clan, and it is that bohemian life that all the songs on the album "12 Volt" are inspired by.
Love, Billie Davies.
