Listen: Clifford Brown
Converse: Dizzy Gillespie

Man - this one is hard - me actually thinking about it, Bing Crosby.......

I wonder if Bing was as nice in real life as his screen persona?

I'd probably go with Mildred Bailey, so influential, yet nearly forgotten today. She gave Bing his start, and is cited as a major influence by many, including Billie.

Bill Evans or Paul Desmond for either.

 

[BlindBoyGrnt]

Lenny Breau

Yeah, we might have to hold off on the party substances, though.
