Real Name: Attilio Joseph Macero
American record producer, jazz saxophonist and composer
Born October 30, 1925 in Glens Falls, NY, USA, died February 19, 2008 in Riverhead, Long Island, NY, USA
A staff producer for Columbia Records from 1959 (he was first hired as a music editor in 1957), Macero produced a series of albums by Miles Davis (beginning with 5460) until the early 1980s, including editing that almost amounted to creating compositions after the recordings. He also supervised sessions led by Dave Brubeck (including 34081) and signed Charles Mingus. He left Columbia in 1975 to found Teo Productions.
