When the officer arrived and, stunned, saw the cul-de-sac swarming with Secret Service agents, he let Avant off the hook. The story, recounted by two of Avant’s close friends, showed how a man known mostly as a barrier-breaking music executive also moved in some of the country’s most powerful political circles. Avant’s death last month at 92 spurred an outpouring of tributes from celebrities as varied as
