>>>That was his point,  but he did say "died" at least in the account I read.
I love the Miller sound and have never quite understood why so many
musicians disliked it and do so to this day.  It's not as if many other
bands didn't use formulas.

>>Try playing that sound 4 hours a night, six nights a week. And, wait, you're
a jazz tenor player who might get two eight-bar solos per night,
meanwhile you gotta listen to Tex Beneke play his yakkity sax all damn'
night.

>But if you're a "jazz tenor player" what the devil are you doing working
steady with a "sweet band?"

-Same thing as Ernie Caceres; making a decent buck. Klink was discovered in Charlie Boulanger's band in Hartford, 
"a pleasantly subdued orchestra that eschewed the usual blatant brass and crunchy rhythms prevalent in the Broadway-type nightclubs it played, 
while still satisfying customers with its light, lilting, melodic sounds." quoting George T. Simon.
