Tony LiPuma, the jazz and pop producer who won Grammys for collaborations with Natalie Cole, George Benson and Canada’s Diana Krall, has died at the age of 80.
Krall told The Associated Press that she and LiPuma put the finishing touches on her latest album just a few weeks ago. The new album, “Turn Up the Quiet”, marks Krall’s return to jazz and American standards and will be released May 5th.
Krall and LiPuma won a Grammy for Krall’s 2002 album “Live in Paris.”
