Re: He Was an Oboist First

Mitch Miller was my teacher's (Melvin Kaplan) teacher in NYC. Even back when I was studying with Mel (in the '50s and early '60s) Mitch was known so well for his sing-along TV appearances that his presence as a oboist was much overshadowed. My impression, from my work with Mel and from watching Mitch on TV, was that Mitch translated his sense of vocal line to his oboe musicianship (or oboe to voice). And that sense of line is what I most appreciate about the teachings of my teacher.
