Presented by Jessie Gordon
If you like jazz, you probably like
queer jazz. There is a long and
illustrious list of queer jazz singers,
composers and lyricists. From

many jazz and blues standards
have been touched by the fabulous flourish of queerness.
Jessie Gordon and Adrian Galante are here to celebrate it
all.
