Released in commemoration of Strayhorn's centennial, this luxurious coffee-table book offers intimate details of the composer's life from musicians, scholars, and Strayhorn's closest relatives. Perhaps best known for his 28-year collaborative role as Duke Ellington's "writing and arranging companion," Strayhorn has emerged in recent years as an even more meritorious force in shaping the jazz canon. Strayhorn delves into every stage of Billy's career, beginning with his abusive upbringing and early success to later partnerships with Lena Horne and the Copasetics. Rich with insights, the book covers topics such as his music, family, intellectual pursuits, involvement with civil rights, and open homosexuality. Featuring contributions from Strayhorn's biographer David Hajdu, film director Rob Levi, music scholar Walter van de Leur, as well as lush photography and rare memorabilia like handwritten scores, this is a book to be treasured by jazz aficionados and music lovers everywhere. Enthralling and visually captivating, Strayhorn: An Illustrated Life lauds a beloved jazz legend and captures a prodigious legacy that will influence generations to come"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Strayhorn, Billy. 600 10 $a Strayhorn, Billy $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Composers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Jazz musicians $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Composers $z United States $v Pictorial works. $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Jazz musicians $z United States $v Pictorial works. $v Pictorial works. 700 1 $a Claerbaut, A.
