Teddy Reig (1917-1984) was a larger-than-life character, a
self-described hustler who had a profound effect on the music world from
the 1940s to the 1970s. As a record producer, he captured the work of
dozens of leading jazz innovators. He also had an impact on rhythm and
blues, rock and roll, and the Latin field. In Part 1, Reig tells his own
story. Part 2 consists of interviews with key figures who were close to
Reig at various stages of his career. Part 3 is an extensive discography
of Reig's productions. The copious illustrations include many previously
unpublished photos.
