We just had a jazz camp here, where Marvin Stamm was one of the head guys. I worked with him for 3 days, and had some one on one time, studied some things with him... could I officially say I've "Studied under Marvin Stamm"?

Where is the line drawn on that kind of stuff... to me, it seems sketchy at points.
My answer too is yes , IF you picked up something of value .
(After 3 days, I'm sure you did) . You can spend weeks and months
with someone and still not get much from it. Time spent is of little
importance, what's learned is paramount.
