Teo Macero...RIP...

Just read that he passed away on Tuesday. Think I'll bust out In A Silent Way in his honor.

It's one of the most influential Jazz albums of all time, and don't forget "Kind of Blue" . Teo was blessed to live during such a great time in American Jazz. His 80 + years brought him a reputation which he richly deserves.

He will be dearly missed. I met him several times, always a pure gentleman. Music was not only a living for him, but his great passion. Not many of us get to put livelihood and passion on the same plate. Many times I thought he would have worked for the passion of music with money a distant second. Many in the business today could take a page or two out of his book and apply to todays music business. he was unique and a one of a kind.
