As important and influential as Miller was, he probably did more harm 
than good in his watering down of popular music in the 1950s. Didn't 
Miller play oboe in the notorious "Charlie Parker with Strings" sessions?

===================
No-one was forced to buy his records! Unfortunately most people don't 
have enquiring minds or, at least, the time to exercise them. Nobody 
ever lost money underestimating public taste...

Yes, he was on the Bird with Strings, but he wasn't responsible for the 
arrangements.
