| Introduction | Serving the music Billie Davies plays and makes and the thought-provoking abstract fine art paintings from her sister Kathleen Goegebeur, she is an iconic avantgarde jazz drummer, pianist and composer best known for her free, instinctively avant-garde compositions and free improvisations she has performed in Europe and in the US. "The spiritual jazz tradition, as exemplified by John Coltrane, Alice Coltrane and Pharaoh Sanders. Billie Davies' work reminds you of many different things but in the end, it is its own original beast.." (Jerome Wilson). - As with several aspects of the playing I was reminded of a wide ranging mix of styles of the Art Ensemble of Chicago. There is total commitment to musical improvisation.." Chris Baber for Jazz Views. __ Kathleen Goegebeur explores the inevitability of transience and the traces that experiences leave behind. That which is painted over does not vanish; it remains present—albeit invisibly. Her images do not present a singular, unambiguous narrative, but rather carry remnants of what came before. They confront the viewer with that which remains hidden, raising the question of how much of what we reveal is merely a thin surface layer. |
