The legacy of Black queer composer, arranger and pianist Billy Strayhorn (1915-1967) hovers at the edge of canonical jazz narratives.

This new portrait of Strayhorn combines critical, historically-situated close readings of selected recordings, scores and performances with biography and cultural theory to pursue alternative interpretive jazz possibilities, Black queer historical routes and sounds.
