Born in Dayton, Ohio in 1915, pianist/composer Billy Strayhorn would have been 100 years old in 2015. Described by great Duke Ellington as "my right arm, my left arm, all the eyes in the back of my head, my brainwaves in his head, and his in mine," Strayhorn provided an artistic influence to Duke Ellington's orchestra that has forever shaped the history of American music. From "Take the 'A' Train" to "Lush Life" and more, Billy Strayhorn's compositions have reached critical acclaim for audiences and musicians around the world.
