Billy Strayhorn? Wasn’t he a jazz guy? Why yes, he was. But he was in jazz because he was kept out of classical music. Sure, Billy gave us a TON of classic and timeless jazz tunes. But the world of classical music missed out on a priceless voice because of its own gatekeeperism. In this episode, Alice regales Shahid with the grandeur of Billy Strayhorn’s life in New York, and its entanglement (positive or otherwise) with “the king of all, sir” Duke Ellington.
