In the US recording industry, Mitch Miller has distinguished himself on many different levels. First, as a musician, at the start of his career, he collaborated on an occasional basis with the great Charlie Parker. Then, as a producer, he contributed to the early successes of Frankie Laine and Jo Stafford.
