Arif Mardin dead - Genesis News Com Forum

legendary producer and arranger Arif Mardin died two weeks ago in New York (see also NEWS section)

Mardin worked with Phil Collins on his Face Value and No Jacket Required albums. Especially his input on the track If Leaving me is Easy and his appearances as guest conductor on the last Collins Big Band tour made his name popular in the Genesis camp.

that's really sad news. I read somewhere he did of cancer. In the end he was quite old also. I didn't know that it was him who discovered Norah Jones.

A great carreer!
