I'm not sure that he had a primary role. As an orchestra leader, he role was multi-faceted. Vis-a-vis, as leader of a diverse group of highly talented musicans, he was a composer, arranger, business man, musical director, piano player, solver of problems within the band and with it's management (Mills), a sort of godfather, if you will.
