Jazz/Pop/Soul/Rock-Blues/Christian Jazz
THIS SITE SEEKS ARTISTS looking for NEW material. Anyone in the business knows it's extremely hard to introduce an original song without some clout or a connection. STANDARDS are great, but you need a fresh and new twist added, to compete with the definitive versions of the past, and many have become shop-worn. Try something different and off the beaten path with a Miller/Green Song where you will come out of your comfort zone.
Hooray for the Non - Performing Songwriters. They were once the cream of music and have produced most of the Great American Songbook. Bring them BACK! Enough of the POP singer/writer era. It's turned into mush, dribble, predictability and regurgitation.

They are Chicago natives who are self-taught and came up the hard way. Some of their DEMO songs have been played on the radio and Artists have performed their tunes in public in Chicago and San Francisco. Four of their songs were published years ago, but the publishers dropped their Jazz catalog or went out of business. Major Jazz vocalists
Mark Murphy & Kevin Mahogany were interested in recording ... But the business end was not their forte, and they could never close a deal.
JIMMY MILLER & CY GREEN
(Non-Performers)
32 years of collaboration
The Mitch Marcus Quintet recorded a CD of some of their tunes in May, 2005.
Chasing the American Songbook
Jim & Cy were heavily influenced by JAZZ musicians, and the GREAT music from the past from other genres. They have something that can be added to today's scene.Their roots are traditional with a new twist! The fact is, it is extremely rare when writers who do not perform, can also come up with original Jazz 'Heads' worthy of looking into.
If you are interested in performing and/or recording any of their tunes, you will deal directly with them. They are signed to no one and own all copyrights.
Their problem with music publishers was, they didn't know what Genre to place their songs. This is not hard complex stuff, and most tunes have LYRICS. If you are a publisher who has a "solid in" with Jazz people, "we'd consider signing contracts again... but man, time is running out for us. We've been there and done that."
Cy Green: COMPOSER/LYRICIST
" A hurt and an emptiness started it all in writing music."
I lost my dear friend and Co-Writer JIMMY MILLER to cancer.
He will never be replaced in my heart.
