| Just to add a bit more to your helpful post, I'd say that, if anything, Pollack is skeptical that a good deal of the Beggar's Holiday music was by Strayhorn. He doesn't seem to buy it. Luther Henderson (the person who probably would have known best after both Ellington and Strayhorn were gone) seems to have said somewhat different things at different times on the question. I don't know about Strayhorn having written all or virtually of the music credited to Ellington generally, but Henderson did say at a talkback for the Mufti Beggar's Holiday that much of the music was by Strayhorn, but he said things that gave a different impression at other times (as well as having apparently said to David Hadju more or less what he said at Mufti). |
