Macero also produced Davis ' Bitches Brew, and Dave Brubeck's Time Out, which, along with Kind of Blue, are three of the best-known and most influential jazz albums of all time.

Additionally, Macero produced over 100 albums of classical orchestral music for Columbia, including less conventional, contemporary pieces such as And God Created Great Whales by Alan Hovhaness, which required him to overlay recordings of humpbacked whale songs over the orchestral track.

While Macero produced many artists ' albums, he had an especially long and prolific relationship with Miles Davis.

A Teo Macero documentary film, Play That, Teo, is currently being produced by Olana DiGirolamo, daughter of Macero's friend and collaborator, Orlando DiGirolamo.

Sessions with Davis and Evans in 1962 resulted in the album Quiet Nights, a short collection of bossa novas that was released against the wishes of both artists: Evans stated it was only half an album, and blamed the record company ; Davis blamed producer Teo Macero, whom he didn't speak to for more than two years.

Composed of two side-long suites edited heavily by producer Teo Macero, this quiet, static album would be equally influential upon the development of ambient music.

Macero introduced new instrumentation to the Clancys ' music, the among them Louis Killen coming in to play concertina on backup, particularly on their 1968 album of sea songs, Sing of the Sea.

Macero plays tenor and alto saxophones on the album, and is joined by Orlando DiGirolamo on accordion, both Mingus and Lou Labella on basses, and Ed Shaughnessy on drums.

In the late 80s Macero tried his hand at country music, producing an album by a New York based band called Sixgun, whose members included Joe Spena, Phil Gelfer, Kenny Davis ( Leichtling ), Ed Jennings, and Pete DeSalvo.

Teo Macero, later to find fame as a producer with Miles Davis, recorded his first album as a bandleader as a saxophonist for Debut, an album described by critic Dan Morganstern as an oddball fusion of Lennie Tristano and Anton Webern.

The album is somewhat unusual because it contains the complete concert ; the producer, Teo Macero, noted that " not a note or a phrase of the musical part of the program has been deleted ".

The titles to all three Davis originals refer to specific individuals: " Pfrancing " to his wife Frances, featured on the album cover ; " Teo " to his producer Teo Macero ; and " Drad Dog " to Columbia Records president Goddard Lieberson.

In a retrospective review of the album, Allmusic editor Thom Jurek complimented its " funky, dirty rock & roll jazz " and " chilling, overall high-energy rockist stance ", stating " Jack Johnson is the purest electric jazz record ever made because of the feeling of spontaneity and freedom it evokes in the listener, for the stellar and inspiring solos by McLaughlin and Davis that blur all edges between the two musics, and for the tireless perfection of the studio assemblage by Miles and producer Macero ".

While there is a discernible rock and funk influence in the timbres of the instruments employed, from a musical standpoint the album was a culmination of sorts of the musique concrète approach that Davis and producer Teo Macero ( who had studied with Otto Luening at Columbia University's Computer Music Center ) had begun to explore in the late 1960s.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Macero released a handful of his own albums, including Time Plus Seven, Impressions of Charles Mingus, and Acoustical Suspension, before founding his own label, Teorecords, in 1999.

Macero continued to compose and arrange for a variety of artists during his time as a producer at Columbia, contributing tracks to ( and still producing ) several albums including Monk's Monk's Blues, and Something New, Something Blue, a collection of blues compositions and arrangements by Macero, Teddy Charles, Manny Albam, and Bill Russo.

Working with producer Teo Macero on his debut for the label, the sessions in the first week of November had a stable line-up that had been with him for two years: tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse ( who worked with Monk from 1959 to 1970 ), bassist John Ore, and drummer Frankie Dunlop.

To keep the Clancys at the top, Teo Macero began producing their records for Columbia.

Macero found greater fame as a producer for Columbia Records.

In 1975, Macero left Columbia and formed his own production company.

However, Macero was outspoken in his opposition to the practice of adding back alternate takes that didn't appear on the original albums, or otherwise altering the original music, on the grounds that it corrupts the intentions of the musicians and the producer at the time the recording was made.

As a composer, Macero wrote in an atonal style, as well as in third Stream, a synthesis of jazz and classical music.

Alongside Teo Macero, Prince Paul co-produced guitarist Vernon Reid's solo debut in 1995.

Examples of such engineers includes George Martin, Joe Meek, Teo Macero, Phil Spector, Brian Wilson, and Biddu.

Czukay and Teo Macero ( Davis's producer and editor ) both had roots in the musique concrète of the 1940s and ' 50s.

Another collaboration from this period, Quiet Nights ( 1962 ) was issued later, against the wishes of Davis, who broke with his then-producer Teo Macero for a time as a result.
