Tune in Teo

Teo Macero, the producer and (truth be told) collaborator on a lot of Miles Davis' stellar electric recordings, also was a pretty good tenor saxophonist before he moved behind the scenes. Check out "Teo Macero with the Prestige Jazz Quartet," a 1957 session on which he plays with a Stan Getz-like sound. The disk has good stuff from Mal Waldron on piano and Teddy Charles on vibes as well. I downloaded it from emusic, for my money the best of the legal download services from a jazz perspective.
