Fun AND RELEVANT Fact: no one ever died learning a little bit about the arts and culture.

Billy Strayhorn is one of the best-loved, yet underrated composers of jazz. His famous collaborations with and for The Duke Ellington Band have become some of jazz's most enduring standards.

“Very interesting take on Strayhorn's classic! It was a musical triptych (scat-piano-lyrics). You took a lot of daring melodic and harmonic choices that certainly paid off!” ~ Michael Conklin - Musicologist, Jazz Historian, Writer, Educator, and Public Speaker. - Princeton, NJ
