ADDIO A NIGEL GRAY, LEGGENDARIO PRODUTTORE DEI POLICE
Avete presente il famoso sound dei Police di “Outlandos d’Amour” (1978), “Reggatta de Blanc” (1979) e “Zenyatta Mondatta” (1980)?
Ecco, era anche merito del produttore Nigel Gray, scomparso un paio di giorni fa. Sting, Andy Summers e Stewart Copeland lo hanno salutato così:
Nigel Gray recorded the first three Police albums, the first two in his converted studio above a dairy in Leatherhead in Surrey. Nigel was a qualified medical doctor who followed his passion into music and was able to use his kindly bedside manner to coax three extraordinarily successful records from a band operating at the time on the tiniest of shoestring budgets.
We simply couldn’t have done it without him, that’s the truth, and we mourn his passing. May he rest with the Recording Angels, Amen.
Oltre a lavorare con i Police Gray ha collaborato anche con Siouxsie and the Banshees su “Kaleidoscope” (1980) e “Juju” (1981). E’ giusto e sacrosanto ricordare anche chi lavora dietro le quinte di album leggendari e trasforma il talento in Storia.
