<<How dare you throw such an insult at the man with the guts to take a
couple of oboe solos on the Charlie Parker With Strings sessions? ;-)>>
That's the weird thing about him. He was a hip guy. All the stuff did
did for Alec Wilder.
But then he made Rosie Clooney sing "Come on-a My House". Here's a
quote from Will Friedwald......
"Miller exemplified the worst in American pop. He first aroused the
ire of intelligent listeners by trying to turn -- and darn near
succeeding in turning -- great artists like Sinatra, Clooney, and Tony
Bennett into hacks. Miller chose the worst songs and put together the
worst backings imaginable -- not with the hit-or-miss attitude that
bad musicians... traditionally used, but with insight, forethought,
careful planning, and perverted brilliance."
