In addition to relentless promotion of the best talent, black or white, Irving Mills was an innovator.

Some fun Mills Music info here

Early on, Duke Ellington made money as a painter, and this tied to his music. He would paint a sign for an event, then offer his services as a pianist.

Recently fixed and working like new thanks to a refurbishment. Just like when Jack drank from it.

Thx to our good friend Bruce at IPR for gifting us this never-before-seen, never-before-known 2xLP Mills Music promo record. Shocking they didn’t do more of these through the years for clients, foreign offices, songwriters, industry friends, etc. So glad to have this in the archive!

Nice Mills Music reference in The Conservative Woman

Mills Music was a big part of “The Cotton Club” (the club, not the film). Curious to see this redux.

When financiers told him that his troubled 1984 production had “too many black stories,” the Oscar winner gave in. Now he’s changing it back, and hoping for a second chance.
