Memphis International Records is an American independent record label and an integral part of the city’s rich musical legacy. Founded in 2001 by David Less and Bob Merlis, the MIR has championed roots music, blues, soul, jazz, and R&B artists from Memphis and around the world. Since Nov 2015, Jeff Phillips has been honored to take over ownership of the label, continuing its mission with respect for its heritage and a commitment to expanding its reach. MIR maintains an active online presence and offers music in multiple formats, including CDs and vinyl, through its official website. MIR's catalog reflects the depth and diversity of Memphis music, ranging from reissues of classic recordings to new projects by established and emerging artists. Notable newer releases include *Live In Memphis* by Ann Peebles & Hi Rhythm Section, *Playing in The Yard* by The Jazz Ensemble of Memphis and *The Way It Is* by The Justus Brothers & Wendy Moten, a fresh rendition of the Bruce Hornsby classic.
