Set for release on September 27 via Cobra Basement, Time to Cut Loose is the latest installment in Davies’ ongoing Music for the Future series. The foundation of the Billie Davies album remains firmly human. For Time to Cut Loose, she adapted that audition process to the digital realm, using AI to develop distinct instrumental voices across each composition. The original recordings were captured in the city in 2020, and Davies remains a familiar figure in the local jazz community. Billie Davies was nominated for OffBeat’s Best of the Beat Awards as Best Contemporary Jazz Artist in 2017 and Best Drummer in 2019.
