About the Album
8. Art (09:59) Billie Davies, Evan Oberla, Oliver Watkinson, Ari Kohn, Allie Porter (March 2018) Live recorded at The Mint in the New Orleans Jazz Museum by Joe Stolerick, Mike Davies mix and post production. Mastered by Mike Davies in 2025. This version of "Art" is from a first performance at The Mint, at what would eventually, later that year, become the album now called "Perspectives" performed and recorded Live at the Art Klub in New Orleans. A completely freely improvised performance with spoken words performed by Allie Porter and written by Billie Davies. We went on stage and just did it... with an audience of 1 that stayed for the entire performance/recording and who seemed just mesmerized by Allie Porter's voice. There is also a video of that performance on youtube: https://youtu.be/q5Gbx2meb0A?si=YiRE1HAhjs2K-n85
