Teo Macero (Born 30 October 1925) is a jazz saxophonist and record producer.
Macero found greater fame as a jazz record producer for Columbia Records.

 In a Silent Way - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is also the first recording by Davis that was largely constructed by the editing and arrangement of producer Teo Macero.
Macero's editing techniques are said to have incorporated many elements of classical sonata form in Davis' recordings for In a Silent Way.
Both of the extended tracks on the album consist of three distinct parts that could be thought of as an exposition, development and recapitulation.

A fine musician and technical wizard who 'always understood the duality: music as music, and music as product' (Ian Carr), Macero's ability to work with the difficult Davis resulted in an unmeasurable influence on music, to say nothing of the rest of his work.

Had Macero only produced In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew, his name would still be revered by several generations of musicians.
Macero provides a link between jazz composition and record production: composers provide structures within which musicians can improvise; producers create a setting for spontaneous music-making, often imposing structures later through selection, track sequencing, editing and mixing.
You sense that Macero is most in his element when fixing up a set of stereo masters, splicing, looping and equalising.

 EASTMAN JAZZ DEPARTMENT WELCOMES TEO MACERO FOR FIVE-DAY RESIDENCY
Now in his 70s, Macero is a legendary producer who has worked intimately with some of the greatest figures in the history of jazz –; Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk – in the creation of some of their most enduring works.
"Teo’s residency is an incredible opportunity for our jazz students to work with a truly legendary producer," said Harold Danko, associate professor of jazz and contemporary media at Eastman and coordinator of Macero’s residency.
Macero will switch hats for his concert at Eastman, during which the versatile musician will perform several of his own compositions, which, according to Danko, "are deserving of much wider recognition." As a composer, Macero is known for his unique ability to combine jazz and classical techniques.

Macero has fun copying and pasting material from a band whose performances are all stop-start and step-and-repeat to begin with.
With a little help from the sharp ears and flawless segueing of Teo Macero (Miles, Mingus, et al.) on the production front, noJazz's debut slides along with the subtle grace and relentless energy of a summer block party.

 Music: 'Bitches' Brewmeister (Tucson Weekly . 03-08-99)
Teo Macero, Miles' producer, had an office right next to mine.
Miles was doing a demo for his wife, Betty, so Teo told me that Miles was doing this session and that he would like to try an electric bass, and I was asked to come down.
Macero, who manned the boards during Davis' studio jaunts, was left to splice the trumpeter's jam sessions into compositions that would fit on the limited length of album sides, resulting in exquisite cut-and-paste efforts paring down most of what Davis, who erratically slipped in and out of the studio, conjured up during this period.

 TEO MACERO
Macero, a student at Juilliard and a jazz saxophonist, was a major contributor to the New York City avant garde jazz scene in the early and mid-fifties.
Macero plays tenor and alto saxophones and is joined by Lanny DiJay (Orlando DiGirolamo) on accordion, both Mingus and Lou Labella on basses, and Ed Shaughnessy on drums.
Macero used techniques pioneered by Les Paul and by Luening and Ussachevsky to speed and slow tapes, and used piano overtones harmonically evoked by his tenor sax.

The bass solo is a shamefully neglected art in general, and both Gales' and Riley's solos here are extraordinarily good.
And, as is the case with many Columbia sessions from the '60s, the master tapes still sound terrific—tonally rich, acoustically natural, and dynamically wide (i.e., accurately conveying the differences between loud sounds and quiet sounds and all the little accents in between).
Teo Macero should have trashed the whole track rather than cut all those nice bass solos.

 MUSICMATCH Guide: Teo Macero
Teo Macero is best-known for being a busy jazz producer at Columbia from 1957 until the late '80s, most noticeably for producing Miles Davis' records.
Macero's dry tones on tenor and baritone and advanced choice of notes sometimes put him closer to modern classical music than to jazz.
Teo Macero played on a very infrequent basis during the 1960s and '70s, but in 1983 he returned as a player to record a tribute to Charles Mingus on Palo Alto; in 1985, he played on one number during a Doctor Jazz date that he fronted.

 Bagatellen: Denying The Existence Of "Now"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
It’s worth noting that the work Teo Macero did in the studio with Miles Davis was not mirrored in his work with other Columbia artists.
This indicates that, while Miles granted Teo a shocking degree of autonomy in the editing room (Macero claims that the In A Silent Way session was one of the only times Davis worked alongside him on the post production), the artistic impulses were decidedly the trumpeter’s own.
They grew to understand the capabilities of technology (Macero, in fact, ordered machines custom-built to create effects he heard in his head and wanted to apply to the music), and the abilities of the assembled musicians, and the way those two factors could work together.

BJ-I would imagine for the completist, this is probably a good thing that we have reissues, but for the artist themselves when you go into a recording studio and you record a project, there are some things that will fall by the way side because they’re not as good.

Teo Macero is a much-discussed element of Miles’ electric music.
There were arguments when Macero attempted to do something Miles didn’t want, but it is inevitable that some of the recordings released were not what Miles intended.
Laswell took the original tapes, and using period equipment, reconstructed the music in a form he felt was more sympathetic to what Miles had intended that Teo Macero’s efforts, along with a little hindsight.

 MILES DAVIS / THE COMPLETE IN A SILENT WAY SESSIONS
As the raw session tapes remained unreleased for years, their contents were the subject of intense speculation and conjecture.
Others insisted that Macero had overproduced the album, wheedling down a double-album's worth of material to make a single one, denying listeners the complete and unexpurgated brilliance of Miles’ music.
While it is fascinating to hear the music in its organic form, it lacks the focus and power of the edited material found on the album.

 Ground and Sky review - Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
Producer Teo Macero recognized the renewed spirit in Miles' playing and he astutely boosted the sound of Davis' horn into the front of the mix so as to maximize the effect.
Miles Davis was almost psychic in his superlative abilities to create an atmosphere that got the most out of his band on virtually every occasion and if he felt that brief rehearsals were necessary, then the music is likely all the better for it.
Another controversy is amount of the postproduction editing by Teo Macero and his autonomy in so doing.

 Mike Garrigan's Blog: August 2005
Whereas before, Davis and his band would just perform the song and the producer would capture the performance, now producer Teo Macero was capturing jam sessions and splicing them together in a tasteful manner.
Produced by Teo Macero in 1961 and featuring Miles Davis on trumpet, John Coltrane on tenor saxophone (for two songs), Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on double bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums, Someday My Prince Will Come is arguably Davis's most overlooked album.
Produced by Teo Macero in 1966 and featuring THE SECOND QUINTET (with Miles Davis on trumpet, Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on double bass, and Tony Williams on drums), Miles Smiles showcases Davis within the context of unprecedented musical interaction and interdependence.

 CHARLES MINGUS: Early Recordings
The material – five tracks – from CHARLIE MINGUS was performed by a sextet: John LaPorta on clarinet and alto sax, Teo Macero on tenor and baritone saxes, George Barrow on baritone and tenor saxes, Mal Waldron on piano, Mingus on bass and Rudy Nichols on drums.
On the four tracks nominally led by Cirillo the group is pared down to a quartet: Teo Macero on tenor sax, Cirillo on piano, Mingus on bass and Kenny Clarke on drums.

Not only did the session reunite him with saxophonist Stan Getz, but it also paired him with pianist Herbie Hancock and bass player Ron Carter — both from the Miles Davis Quintet — as well as with Elvin Jones (from the John Coltrane Quartet).
After a series of disagreements erupted between Brookmeyer and producer Teo Macero over the addition of original compositions to the ensemble’s repertoire — Macero wanted to release an album that featured only standards, while Brookmeyer had other plans — Getz, in an attempt to temper the tension, tapped vibraphonist Gary Burton to join the fray.
Although the bickering continued for the duration of the three-day session, the angst was not apparent within the resulting music that composed Bob Brookmeyer and Friends.
