    Max Bennett. He’s not famous famous but he’s well known enough in the jazz scene. He played with Frank Sinatra, Dizzie Gillespie, and recorded on countless studio sessions. I knew him personally and I think was his last student before he passed. Some people closer to him than me told me one of the last things he said was “I need to give jcabral9 his lesson” and it makes me tear up whenever I think about it. I was too young to understand most of his concepts–I wish I could know him as an adult and professional musician myself.
