Teo Macero’s Lasting Impact

With little fanfare, the legendary jazz producer Teo Macero pass away this week. Jazz producers typically do not get recognized for their work and compared to the giants he worked with, Macero was sort of an afterthought when it came to famous jazz records.

Old Things That Are New To Me — Dieter
