Henry Lewy passed away peacefully last Saturday, April 8th.

Henry worked on nearly every Joni Mitchell record from "Clouds" on, acting as a combination engineer/producer/listener, as well as on projects with singer-songwriters ranging from Leonard Cohen to Van Morrison to Stephen Bishop. He also had a long, colourful history in the Los Angeles studio scene working on projects by the Mamas and the Papas, Crosby Stills & Nash, and a slew of others. The German-born Lewy began his career in the music business in the early fifties, working as a combination disc jockey and engineer at stations in San Diego, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

There will be no funeral or memorial at his request.
