In an exclusive interview, composer, saxophonist and famed producer Teo Macero, who died in February 2008, talks to Alyn Shipton and selects highlights of his recorded catalogue. As well as considering Macero's own recordings as an instrumentalist, including work with Charles Mingus, the programme focuses on his two decades as Miles Davis's producer and on such notable examples of their collaboration as Porgy and Bess, Sketches of Spain, Bitches Brew, and In a Silent Way.
