Hordes of engineers and studio mavens would later take up his charge in this area but none of it would have meant anything without his pioneering work to proceed it. Especially with Miles in the '70's and late '60's, he turned the studio into his own workshop, editting and reshapping Miles' groundbreaking music. It wasn't just the fact that Macero did such a wide range of work that's earned him his legend. Later, he would work his magic with the Lounge Lizards, Vernon Reid and Robert Palmer among many others. Starting out a saxophonist himself and recording with Charlie Mingus, he went on to do a broad range of studio work that included Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Tony Bennett, Johnny Mathis, Thelonious Monk, Simon and Garfunkel, Ella Fitzgerald, Glenn Miller and Lionel Hampton. This is of course justified but sells short all of the other work that he's done.
