about

Two compositions out of seven were formed specifically into collective improvisation. They open and close the album, and are one of the most successful examples of that proclaimed new direction of New Orleans jazz; Some local journalists present music of Billie Davies ranks even to nu-jazz. It seems to me somewhat misleading, because in this little box is quite a different jazz, at least for Europeans. Instead of electronic samples and programs it is dominated by live electronic drums played by Billie Davies; also exclusively live are keyboard instruments (acoustic and electric piano, synthesizer) and trombone, played by Evan Oberla, and bass figures, directed by Oliver Watkinson.
