Об альбоме (сборнике)
Teo Macero with The Prestige Jazz Quartet is the 1957 self-titled album of the same name. Originally released by Prestige Records, this CD was released in 1992 by Original Jazz Classics/Fantasy Jazz and is remastered by Phil de Lancie.
This CD reissue features tenor saxophonist Teo Macero (who would later become much better known as a record producer) in as straight-ahead a setting as he ever appeared. With stimulating support from pianist Mal Waldron, vibraphonist Teddy Charles, bassist Addison Farmer, and drummer Jerry Segal, Macero performs a variety of then-recent ballads, of which only "Star Eyes" (arranged by Hall Overton) did not come from Teo or his associates. The music is advanced but from the jazz tradition, and overall this set is more noteworthy for Macero's interesting playing than for the tunes themselves.
