From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Teo Macero is a jazz saxophonist and record producer.
He began his career as a performer, recording a few albums, and briefly joining Charles Mingus.
Macero found greater fame as a jazz record producer for Columbia Records. He had a long and especially fruitful partnership with Miles Davis. He produced such Davis classics as Sketches of Spain and Someday My Prince Will Come. Davis's later forays into electric fusion, such as In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew, and A Tribute to Jack Johnson, were highlighted by Macero's innovative mixing and editing techniques. These were inspired partially by Macero's association with influential avant-garde composer Edgar Varese, one of the innovators of taped electronic music.
Though he's been semiretired for some years, Macero has been occasionally active in music: With Prince Paul he coproduced Vernon Reid’s first solo album, and Macero played saxophone on DJ Logic’s debut as a bandleader.
