Billy Strayhorn: Take the A Train
Billy Strayhorn has a recording strike to thank for the opportunity of a lifetime. He has his unparalleled gift for impressionistic tones and colors to thank for turning that opportunity into co-creating the most prolific and indelible music of the 20th Century. Alongside his writing partner Duke Ellington, Strayhorn helped move jazz from the underground clubs to the world’s more prestigious stages.
