Almost anybody who ever counted in jazz played for, with or in MD's band at one point or another. He might have been an egotistical moron as you said, but he had a lot of influence over what happened in jazz before he passed away :). You may not like it, but it just happened that way. And as a side note, some of his music is actually quite remarkable. But that is not just my opinion. I am also of the opinion that he had his right to dislike some peoples playing.
