ビートルズのレコーディング・エンジニア、ジェフ・エメリックが死去

10代からレコーディング・エンジニアのアシスタントを務めた後、ビートルズのアルバム『Revolver』『Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band』『White Album』『Abbey Road』と、ウィングスのアルバム『Band On The Run』のエンジニアを手掛けたジェフ・エメリックが、心臓麻痺のため10月2日に死去しました。享年72。マネージャーと電話で会話している最中に突然心臓発作に襲われてしまったらしい。亡くなる二日前には、ウィル・リー（凄腕ベーシスト）がやっている、ビートルズ・ナンバーを演奏するバンドの『ホワイト・アルバム』全曲演奏ライヴに来ていたとの情報も伝えられています。

エメリックは、ビートルズのプロデューサーだったジョージ・マーティンが連れてきた最初のエンジニアで、『Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band』と『Abbey Road』のエンジニアとして、グラミー賞を受賞しています。

ビートルズ解散後も、ポール・マッカートニーと仕事を続け、ウイングスの『Band On The Run』のエンジニアとしてもグラミー賞を受賞。また、ジョージ・マーティンと手掛けたチープ・トリックの『All Shook Up』（1980）の他、ジェフ・ベック、スーパートランプ、エルヴィス・コステロなど、多くの作品で活躍しました。

また彼の著書『ザ・ビートルズ・サウンド 最後の真実』もビートルズ・ファン必読本として知られています。
