Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Toronto-born, Ohio-based Jazz Saxophonist Pete Mills. We dive into his brand-new 2025 album For the Record and his rich journey through the world of jazz.
On this soulful and high-energy project, Pete delivers a love letter to the classic tenor saxophone and Hammond B3 organ quartet sound. With deep roots now planted in the Midwest, he draws inspiration from the vibrant Columbus, Ohio jazz legacy — a city long celebrated for its hard-swinging tenor/B3 traditions.
From his early beginnings to his latest creative chapter, Pete Mills brings passion, history, and a modern sensibility to every note. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about artistry, community, and the enduring power of jazz.
