Oh man. Sure I heard of Gerschwin. A Jewish jazz pianist from New York who developed an admiration for European classical music. He even asked Ravel for mentorship in classical composition, but he rejected him because he wanted him to develop on his own.

Shostakovich did it too in Russia, but he came from the other side, a classical composer who introduced jazz into his music. Stalin didn't really like that though.
