By putting Bill Evans together with Jim Hall, and Duke Ellington with Charles Mingus and Max Roach, which yielded two enduring classics, Douglas tried to get a mix of personalities that would create something different from what these musicians were already doing and thereby stand out from the rest of their catalogs. "That's how you become a record producer," Douglas says. "You're a fan first." • Douglas has worked with many of the century's underground greats, from Lenny Bruce, Timothy Leary and The Last Poets to Eric Dolphy, Miles Davis and, most controversial of all, Jimi Hendrix
