Joel Dorn, the Grammy-winning record producer who worked with Roberta Flack, Bette Midler, the Neville Brothers, Herbie Mann and numerous other jazz, R&B and pop musicians in a career spanning 40 years, died Monday in New York at 65.

Dorn won back-to-back Grammys for record of the year in 1972 and 1973 for the Roberta Flack hits “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and “Killing Me Softly With His Song.”

He also produced such acclaimed recordings as Midler’s “The Divine Miss M,” The Allman Brothers “Idlewild South” and the Nevilles’ “Fiyo On The Bayou.”

He was likely best known within the industry as one of the in-house producers for Ahmet Ertegun’s Atlantic Records, where he worked with such jazz greats as Mann, Les McCann, Max Roach, Freddie Hubbard, Keith Jarrett, Oscar Brown Jr. and others.

“Joel bridged the worlds of jazz and pop with enormous skill and grace, never compromising the integrity of his artists and their music,” said Edgar Bronfman Jr., chairman of Warner Music Group, whose subsidiary, Rhino Records, has reissued much of Atlantic’s jazz catalog under Dorn’s direction.

Born in Philadelphia on April 7, 1942, Dorn went to work in his teens as a disc jockey for a local jazz station.

He met Ertegun’s older brother, Nesuhi, who hired him at Atlantic in 1967.

In addition to his work with Rhino, Dorn also released archival recordings for the labels 32 Records, Night and M. For 32 Records he produced the popular 1998 compilation “Jazz For a Rainy Afternoon.”
