Biographical note

Teo (Attilio Joseph) Macero (b Glen Falls, NY, 30 Oct. 1925) was a composer and saxophonist from a young age. He entered the Juilliard School in 1948, where he studied composition with Henry Brant, and graduated with a BS and an MS in 1953; he also won the BMI Student Composer's Award. Macero co-founded the Jazz Composers' Workshop with Charles Mingus the same year and performed and recorded with Mingus through 1956. He also worked with the vibraphonist Teddy Charles and recorded three of his own albums in the mid-1950s. At the same time, Macero was active as a composer, writing in an atonal style, as well as in the "third stream" concept pioneered by Mingus and Gunther Schuller. Through his career, his compositions have included works for film, television, ballets, and orchestras. He won two Guggenheim fellowships (in 1953 and 1954), as well as a National Endowment for the Arts grant in 1974.

In 1956, Columbia Records producer George Avakian hired Macero as a tape editor. Following the departure of Avakian from the label in 1958, and the transfer of producer Irving Townsend to the west coast in 1959, Macero became the label's main producer of jazz and commercial music. His most important clients at Columbia were Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Thelonious Monk and Charles Mingus (Macero signed the latter two to the label). He is perhaps most famous for his longterm working relationship with Davis, which stretched from 1959 to 1983. Macero also produced about a dozen other important jazz artists during his Columbia tenure, as well as the New York Philharmonic conductor Andre Kostelanetz, and he oversaw many special projects for the label, including soundtracks for several Broadway musicals.

Macero left Columbia/CBS in 1975 and established his own company, M. Productions, where he continues to produce his own and other artists' music on his Teorecords label.

Scope and Content Note

The Teo Macero Collection consists of 57.5 linear feet of material dating from 1949 to 1992. The heart of the collection is paperwork and photographs documenting the recording production work of Teo Macero (and occasionally other producers) at Columbia/CBS Records from 1958 to 1975, and the activities of the recording artists that he produced. Although most of the papers came from Macero's office, some material originated in the office of producer Irving Townsend, in particular the Duke Ellington and some of the Miles Davis material. Scores comprise about 30 linear feet of the collection and consist mostly of classical and commercial arrangements used on Andre Kostelanetz recordings from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s, but also include some of Macero's own compositions dating from his Juilliard days (early 1950s) to the early 1990s. The collection most thoroughly documents the careers of Andre Kostelanetz, Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Tony Bennett, Thelonious Monk, and Charlie Byrd. Duke Ellington, Maynard Ferguson, Stan Getz, Lionel Hampton, Woody Herman, J.J. Johnson, Ramsey Lewis, Charles Mingus and Jimmy Rushing receive lesser but still significant coverage. Many other musicians have more limited documentation.

Series Descriptions and Container List Series I: Columbia/CBS Records and M. Productions artist project files, 1958 - 1982 and undated 22 linear feet, 44 boxes

By artist name, and within each artist by the name of issued recordings. If the project in question did not result in a released recording, the file title is usually what Macero assigned it, if that title adequately describes the content.

This series contains paperwork documenting the working relationship between 128 different musicians/recording artists and Columbia records or Teo Macero's M. Productions. The length and products of the relationship range from a one-day failed audition to, in the case of Miles Davis, a decades-long partnership yielding over 30 album releases.

Within folders, the papers are divided into roughly four categories. The first, correspondence, consists of inter-office memos, letters to and from the recording artists or others, contracts, invoices, purchase orders, and hand-written notes. The second category, datasheets, refers to any evidence of the production of sound recordings, including studio tape and session logs, job sheets, notes on tape content, mastering information, and album cover copy. The third category, promotional material, refers to handbills, advertising copy and proofs, or other publications produced by Columbia's promotions department. The fourth category, clippings, refers to newspaper and magazine cutouts or issues. Some folders also contain sheet music related to the recording project in question. "General" folders at the end of each artist's section often contain important material which is not associated with a particular project, such as contracts, correspondence or tour itineraries; a general file at the end of the series contains items not associated with a particular artist. Further notes on particular artists appear under their names.
