BALLAD MEDLEY (About Us)

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.

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.

FREE Lead Sheets sent on request.

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.

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.
