[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

I knew Teo. He was a good man and a good friend. He had a wicked sense of humor and loved to play little pranks on people. He loved music like no one I have known.

He was generous and took the time to talk to a young college jazz DJ. When I first interviewed him he told me he could only spare forty-five minutes of his time to talk to me. Our interview went on for almost three hours. I will never forget the stories he told me about producing Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, and Thelonious Monk. He was an icon of jazz history. He was also a closet conservative in the music industry.

I want my friend back.

sorry, the actual year of birth was 1925.

macero for me was all over the map. A very innovative and daring producer.

I just don't understand how he could engineer something as perfect as In A Silent Way and something as unlistenable as Monk's Blues. Maybe it's just me.

His work with Mingus was crazy, visionary and wonderful.

He will definitely be missed. An American original.

Definitely old school, invented himself and a self made man. No one gave him nothing. He worked for everything he had
