Seems like they should have just pushed record and left them alone for about six hours and then fished through it, then kept it all. Producers didn't get that back then.....
Teo Macero was one of the greatest jazz producers; he was no amateur in dealing with this kind of music or players. We laugh because he interrupted Monk while he was playing, but he had experience dealing with Monk. Monk was a difficult guy; maybe he needed a little pushing to get a great take. Macero wouldn't have done that if he didn't know exactly what he was doing. Didn't want Monk to take it too easy!
He was more an engineer than a producer...the artist were actually producing the music...he didn't understand that it was about feeling not about perfection...this is where most people go wrong with music you can't chop it up to envoke the emotion...Teo should have just shut up and let them play
No wonder Monk went crazy. Teo waits for Monk to finish an historic jam then asks him to get serious. LOL Afterwards, Monk blows everyone away only to hear Teo, again, pipe through with, "Stand bye." My ribs hurt.
i think tht guy think she is paying tribute to monk w his body language doing monk's dance....he looks like a clown and though he may appreciate monks genius he looks like and idiot doing tht shit.
he is probably one of the most respected producers in jazz history. he recorded a couple little things... kind of blue, time out, mingus ah um, monk's dream, etc. this guy is not an asshole
Yeah he is so jive..... he only produced "Kind of Blue", "In a Silent Way", and "Bitches Brew" with Miles. He also produced "Take Five" with Brubeck, and "MIngus Ah Um" just to name a couple of the absolutely legendary classics of jazz that he worked to create. You might think his manner is not so hip but to call one of the greatest and most influential jazz producers of all time "jive" paints you as someone who needs to do a little more research into jazz history friend.

I don't think it was drugs so much as straight up mental illness.... there's no doubt he suffered from schizophrenia or bipolar disorder....
