 Toronto Saxophonist Pete Mills Honors the Tenor/B3 Legacy with For The Record Toronto-born saxophonist Pete Mills delivers a soulful, high-energy session with For The Record, his latest release and a love letter to the timeless sound of the tenor saxophone and Hammond B3 organ quartet. With deep roots now planted in the Midwest, Mills draws from the rich legacy of Columbus, Ohio—a city long known for its hard-swinging tenor/B3 traditions. This new album channels that energy, and history, following in the footsteps of legendary pairings like Stanley Turrentine and Jimmy Smith or Rusty Bryant and Hank Marr and is Mills’ second fore into the classic B3/tenor pairing, having recorded the acclaimed Fresh Spin (Chicken Coup/Summit) with B3 virtuoso Tony Monaco. Pete’s discography also includes releases on Cellar Live (Sweet Shadow) and Summit, (Art and Architecture). For The Record features a working band of nearly ten years: Jon Eshelman on Hammond B3, Tom Davis on guitar, and Zach Compston on drums. Each not only contributes their individual artistry, but also brings original compositions to the album, resulting in a project that’s cohesive, soulful, and brimming with personality. The chemistry among the group is unmistakable, cultivated over years of live performances and shared musical language.
