‘On The Table’ by multi-instrumentalist and vocalist d.Mills got off to a flying start with the single ‘59th St’. Not only did it capture the streetwise attitude of New York City which he is proud to call home it was also a tune tailor made as the theme music for a television cop show. This was more appropriate than you may think as despite carving out a career in music, d.Mills also works as a NYPD detective.
The second single, ‘Way O’ shows off a much more jazzy side of his musical persona and although he may not have usurped Cagney or Lacy as my favorite New York detective (well, I am a man of a certain age) his credentials as a writer, arranger and performer are right up there.
