The media frenzy that has occurred since Michael Jackson passed has been predictable, if not disappointing. Regardless of his personal life, there’s no denying that Michael was a hugely influential and talented musician. Not least of his talents was assembling an immensely talented team, including Quincy Jones, Rod Temperton, and long-time Sweetwater friend, uber-recording engineer Bruce Swedien. Swedien first wrote about his experiences in the studio with Michael and other artists in his book Make Mine Music. Now he’s back with In The Studio With Michael Jackson, containing detailed, behind-the-scenes stories of the making of Michael’s greatest recordings, including Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad, Dangerous, and HIStory. Packed with more than 100 photos, In The Studio With Michael Jackson also features forwards by Jones and Temperton.
