THIS year marks the centenary of one of the great unsung heroes of jazz history, a man who was also half (and sometimes, arguably, more than that) of one of the greatest musical partnerships of the 20th century – and the composer of classics such as Take The A Train and Lush Life. His name was Billy Strayhorn.
