About

Unraveling the mystery surrounding the composer of Ellington's biggest hits, including "Passion Flower," Hajdu reveals why Billy Strayhorn chose a life of anonymity and self-destruction at a time when African-Americans were basking in the glow of the Big Band era. Hajdu also explains why Strayhorn is only now being recognized - 30 years after tragedy ended his brilliant career.
