STANDARDS are great, but without a fresh and new twist added, it's hard to compete with the definitive versions

of the past, and many have become shop-worn. Try something different and off the beaten path with New Original Material where you will come out of your comfort zone.

"Blues For Nasha"

Cy Green & Jimmy Miller are self-taught and non-performing songwriters. They were both born and raised in Chicago. It took 15 years of work before 4 songs were published. They signed a one year song(s) contract. The publisher decided to push other formats of music, and never signed a recording Artist to their material.

Other interested song publishers did not know what field to place some of their songs. JAZZ? POP? Adult Contemporary? And on one song, it was: "Let's modify the chords, alter the rhythm and make it COUNTRY." That was it for music publishers!

Songs were then given directly to visiting Artists performing in Chicago. But for some strange reason, they never approached a MUSICIAN ( Group Leader.) They got really close with Jazz Singers MARK MURPHY and KEVIN MAHOGANY, but it never happen. With no one to advise them, they could not close a deal.
