Gm – Daily post about underrated /jazz players. Today, Billy Strayhorn, pianist from Dayton, OH. While his name is not known, he composed 'Take the 'A' Train'. When he met Duke Ellington, he showed how he'd arrange a song of him. He joined Ellington's band for 25 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTYbhVJsUEw
