This black and white photo shows American jazz singer Billie Holiday performing on stage at the Downbeat Club, a well-known jazz club in New York City in February 1947. Billie Holiday, also known as Lady Day, is seen singing into the microphone. She is wearing a long-sleeved dress with a V-neckline and a decorative collar. Her hair is styled in a short, curly bob and she appears to be deeply engaged in her singing, with her eyes closed and her mouth open. In the background, we can see other musicians playing instruments such as a saxophone and a trumpet. The dimly lit club, with its smoky and intimate atmosphere, provides the perfect setting for Holiday's soulful and passionate performance.
