Teo Macero...RIP...

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

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.

It appears TM and MD were at times cojoined like George Martin & the Beatles. Apparently TM never liked the idea of posthumous release of unedited session tapes(e.g. Mosaic), which he regarded as raw material for the far more highly produced original releases.
