Music correspondent Dave Wilson looks at why queer women have been quite visible in the history of jazz, particularly among the early African American blues singers, but not so queer or gay men.
Dave focuses on the music of several queer men in jazz, including Billy Strayhorn, Fred Hersch and Richard Cortez.
Dave Wilson is a saxophonist, clarinetist, composer, and interdisciplinary scholar, a Senior Lecturer in Music at the New Zealand School of Music-Te Koki.
