Get your moneysworth on REISSUES.
They're all not worth the cost.
Cy Green & Jim Miller are Chicago born composers who have worked together for 25 years.They come from the school of hard knocks and belong to the absolute minority in music - the non-performing songwriter. They are also jazz fanatics. To compile this LIST,they were assisted by local Jazz DJ Bill Bohannon. This is vital information about great jazz recordings - the BEST JAZZ CD's TO BUY. It took us a lifetime to acquire this knowledge.You can have it in an instant. We are sincerely asking jazz lovers for help.
This JAZZLIST was put together
to help us raise funds to produce
our Chicago VOCAL PROJECT of all
Original Tunes.
This is very expensive. Nobody
is pulling our strings. We are
calling all the shots.
Singers, Arrangers, Musicians
Studio Time & CD Duplication.
You can help back a songwriters' last hoorah. After struggling for over 30 years i.e, the rejections, the re-writes, the published contracts that went nowhere, the thousands of dollars spent on the music, the people that almost recorded his music,
This guy will not QUIT!

CY GREEN .... Birthname: James E Scalise, Chicago, IL 
Cy & Jim are not nostalgic by no means. Their use of uncommon intervals and twists in the melody with unique song structures make them different.
Cy had a dream once - to hear something he wrote, played right after a Jazz or Pop Standard, and know in his heart - it fit right in.
On tunes with words, the singer has no time for sleep.You will be challenged and kept awake.
Do you need some Emotional Content in that CD you're preparing to do?
Add CONTRAST with one our tunes.
"Familiarity in music will never make history."
We need YOU!
Cy Green

This has been a cult album since it's birth in 1956. How it's escaped the jazz general populist is a mystery. Perhaps the title had something to do with it.

These are the one's you'll play!
Truly Timeless Pure Genius Bird 'n Diz Horace Silver
Jazz Newbies, Don't miss out on this great resource. And seasoned collectors will find gems they missed the first time around. Don't let these writers slip thru the cracks.
Does anyone really CARE anymore about
helping undiscovered TALENT, or are we all
lost in this social computer maze, which most
of the time accomplishes nothing.
There is something here for for the aficionado as well as the newbie alike. This is much more than someones' TOP 100 which are basically many recordings that would overwhelm a newbie, and knowledgeable collectors would know. We believe records should be special and not just another day at the gig. The JAZZ LIST has many buried treasures waiting to be discovered.
Musically yours.
Bill Bohannon & J Arthur Miller
Cy Green gave up everything to write music. He washed dishes, swept floors, washed cars and cleaned toilets. All he ever wanted was to have a song published
and turn on a radio and hear it.
His dream has turned into the harsh reality of survival.
Keep the dream ALIVE!
The MUSIC is worth it.
He is now indigent and struggling to pay his rent.
It's hard to be creative when the wolves are at the door. Please, your kindness is needed.
YOU CAN HELP CHANGE THIS WITH YOUR DONATION.
We even accept Checks & Cash USD for the JAZZLIST ... snail mail.
