The Oakland-based musicians collective FAGJAZZ presents The Strayhorn Sessions, a deeply swinging and deeply felt tribute to the prolific composer and longtime Ellington collaborator, Billy Strayhorn. For Pride Month, the collective celebrates the legacy and life of Strayhorn as a “beloved queer ancestor,” with lush arrangements of Strayhorn’s music by members Madelyn Liu (aka Oddity) and cinematic vocal and horn arrangements, and a grooving rhythm section. The evening also includes original compositions by members of the collective.

FAGJAZZ is a queer and trans POC-led collective based and founded in Oakland, created for Bay Area queer musicians and artists to connect, collaborate, and support each other. Beyond its record label and ensemble, the collective also hosts regular showcases, jams, workshops, and community hangs. The goal of the collective is to uphold the longstanding tradition of queer folks coming together to foster community and make great art.
