He is especially renowned for his groundbreaking production work with Michael Jackson and for his richly orchestrated arrangements in jazz and soul. His name on the cover stands for musical sophistication, stylistic diversity and a high level of craftsmanship in the studio. With "Gula Matari" he documents his penchant for elaborate arrangements that combine big-band heritage with contemporary grooves.
