RIP Teo Macero

Nice tribute to Miles' producer extraordinaire, who passed away Feb. 19. Not much else to add to the link, other than the music Miles created and Teo shaped has been some of the most influential to my way of thinking. I heard of Teo's passing and the first thing I thought of was the part in "It's About That Time" (part 2, track 2 of In A Silent Way) . The part around 14:30 (I'm guessing) where Miles breaks into an amazing run, where the previous section had been restlessly, quietly moving around. I first heard that part on a beach in San Diego and thought I had heard and felt the Infinite. I've never forgotten it. RIP Teo.
