| Summary: | "A study of the legacy of Black queer composer, arranger, and pianist Billy Strayhorn (1915-1967), exploring how Strayhorn's identity as an openly gay Black jazz musician shaped his career, musical sensibility, and the dynamics with his collaborators"-- "Queer Arrangements is a new study of Billy Strayhorn that examines his music and career at the intersection of jazz and Black queer history. The legacy of Black queer composer, arranger and pianist Billy Strayhorn (1915-1967) hovers at the edge of canonical jazz narratives. Queer Arrangements explores the ways in which Strayhorn's identity as an openly gay Black jazz musician shaped his career, including the creative roles he could assume and the dynamics between himself and his collaborators, most famously Duke Ellington, but also iconic singers such as Lena Horne and Ella Fitzgerald. 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. By looking at jazz history through the instrument(s) of Strayhorn's queer arrangements, this book sheds new light on his music and on jazz collaboration at midcentury"-- |

The legacy of Black queer composer, arranger and pianist Billy Strayhorn (1915-1967) hovers at the edge of canonical jazz narratives. Queer Arrangements explores the ways in which Strayhorn's identity as an openly gay Black jazz musician shaped his career, including the creative roles he could assume and the dynamics between himself and his collaborators, most famously Duke Ellington, but also iconic singers such as Lena Horne and Ella Fitzgerald. 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. By looking at jazz history through the instrument(s) of Strayhorn's queer arrangements, this book sheds new light on his music and on jazz collaboration at midcentury"-- Strayhorn, Billy 1915-1967 (DE-588)119403544 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Queer-Theorie (DE-588)7628620-4 gnd rswk-swf Jazz (DE-588)4028532-7 gnd rswk-swf Kollaboration (DE-588)4031748-1 gnd rswk-swf Ethnische Identität (DE-588)4153096-2 gnd rswk-swf Jazzmusiker (DE-588)4028535-2 gnd rswk-swf Strayhorn, Billy / Criticism and interpretation Jazz / Social aspects / History / 20th century Jazz / 20th century / History and criticism Homosexuality and music Composition (Music) / Collaboration Arrangers (Musicians) / United States African American jazz musicians African American gay men / Social conditions Queer theory Homosexualité et musique Composition (Musique) / Collaboration Arrangeurs / États-Unis Musiciens de jazz noirs américains Homosexuels masculins noirs américains / Conditions sociales Théorie queer MUSIC / Ethnomusicology HISTORY / LGBTQ+ Strayhorn, Billy Criticism, interpretation, etc Strayhorn, Billy 1915-1967 (DE-588)119403544 p Jazz (DE-588)4028532-7 s Jazzmusiker (DE-588)4028535-2 s Ethnische Identität (DE-588)4153096-2 s Queer-Theorie (DE-588)7628620-4 s Kollaboration (DE-588)4031748-1 s Geschichte z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 9780819500656 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment https://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:443/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=034616673&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
