  Winner of the 2024 Philip Brett Award, sponsored by the LGBTQ Study Group of the American Musicological Society (AMS)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.

  Drop in on this whimsical non-linear prose between the signs of the Zodiac. Moderated by Professor Emeritus. There is beach boy Aquarius, soulful Pisces, grumpy Taurus, Virgo the peacemaker - you get the idea. Gregory Sulface prose here on display is cubist surrealism. A one of a kind!Imagine when the zodiac signs have all gathered together, maybe sharing some drinks and having a long chat—in poetry.  Will they talk about who is more fun? Will they point fingers at who is being dramatic? Or would they talk about the people who represent them and if these people were representing their signs very well? Will these signs be friends? Will Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius throw fire at other signs? Will Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces douse everyone else with water? Will the earth (Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo) and air (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) signs meet? There would surely be intriguing topics and heightened emotions involved in this party. If you want to eavesdrop, get a copy of Astrology Poetry 101: Cypher.

  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Trainspotting is a 1996 British black comedy-drama directed by Danny Boyle, based on Irvine Welsh's novel. The film follows Mark Renton, a young heroin addict living in Edinburgh, as he navigates a chaotic lifestyle with his friends, all grappling with addiction and the struggles of urban poverty. The movie delves into themes of friendship, betrayal, and the search for meaning, offering a raw and often darkly humorous portrayal of addiction. With its energetic style, Trainspotting explores the highs and lows of drug use, as the characters face difficult choices and confront the realities of their lives. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The entire film was shot in just seven and a half weeks.” 
    
  “Although it looks thoroughly off-putting, the feces in the "Worst Toilet in Scotland" scene was actually made from chocolate and smelled quite pleasant.” 
    
  “Kelly Macdonald, in her naiveté, invited her mother and brother to the set while filming her sex scene with Ewan McGregor.” 
    
  “Due to a tight budget, many scenes had to be shot in a single take.” 
    
  “Ewen Bremner (Spud) had previously played Renton in a stage adaptation of the novel.”
