Billie Davies' Hand In Hand In The Hand Of The Moon Inspired by Artist Serge Vandercam
Drummer Billie Davies pays homage to Danish-born Belgian artist Serge Vandercam in this exciting free-form adventure. Hand In Hand In The Hand Of The Moon is a musical symphony inspired by Vandercam's exquisite creations. Davies says it is, “The painter influenced by the drummer and the drummer influenced by the painter over a period of three days of the full moon." Born in Belgium and now living in New Orleans, she continues “A collaborative work, conceived in 1995 resulting 20 years later in a series of 8 paintings and a jazz symphony of eight musical movements."
This music was recorded 'live' in one take on an afternoon in April. For each movement, the corresponding actual painting was hanging on the wall, visible to all musicians, in bright light. True art.
Musicians
Alex Blaine - tenor saxophone
Branden Lewis - trumpet
Evan Oberla - trombone
Ed Strohsahl - upright bass Billie Davies - drums
