Damn, what a life indeed. RIP.

Someone is etc. On Little Johnny C. Maybe Leo Wright?

Also on a couple of Wayne Shorter BN albums. Due to a restriction in his Impulse! contract.

Couldn't say it better. R.I.P.

Great loss. Thanks for the insight and the quality ... RIP

Great contributor over many decades. I have what must be hundreds of discs he produced on Prestige, Cobblestone/Muse, and Xanadu. I was not aware of his design and photography work!

Damn! RIP

RIP Don Schlitten! Most of my first jazz LPs were Prestige records, so for my experience he was there from the start.

Donald Byrd “Off to the Races” Blue Note Japan 24 bit by RVG lp facsimile cd. Stereo version. Sounds pretty darned good to me on my system today.

Absolutely right! In terms of how a producer's name alone could make you buy an album by a completely unknown artist, Alfred Lion and Don were the twin pillars. Honestly, I had no idea who most of the leaders on Xanadu's albums were until I bought them. I bought them sight unseen, but they almost never disappointed. RIP.

I never knew the depth of Don Schlitten’s background, he will be missed.

. In such ways do all good things end, by ending.

The Teodross Avery Quartet “In Other Words” GRP cd, produced by Michael Cuscuna, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder. I like this guy.

Will take the Kenton Presents and Hemphill Boye box happily

I love the artwork on the records he produced, often photographs he had taken himself. The jarring contrasts of photographs and font really appeal to me.

Confirmed that the PBS app allows streaming of this documentary, along with the Max Roach American Masters doc. Watching the Roach now, and will probably rewatch the Sun Ra one later.

👍- LP 2 - originally released as Straight Ahead (New Jazz 8255)

Joe Comfort!

What an incredible legacy he leaves behind. His name was second only to Alfred Lion when it comes to, "If his name is on it, it's gotta be good".
