My Take
Larry Klein embodies an aesthetic I treasure: the artist who serves the song rather than the spotlight. He began as a jazz bassist trading licks with giants like Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, and Bobby McFerrin, then reinvented himself as a producer whose ear earned a 1995 Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album. Reaching the summit through behind-the-scenes craft demands a rare kind of listening. I find the figures who can hear what a record needs and coax it into being far more compelling than the stars out front. His enduring, quietly masterful work in Los Angeles is exactly the kind of artistry I cherish.
