Description
[MUSIC]. JONES, Paul T., photographer. Billie Holiday performing at the Bambola in Pittsburgh, PA. Ca 1947.
8 x 10 in. (including margins) silver gelatin photograph (some creasing throughout, toning). Signed and inscribed on image in an unknown hand: "Best of Luck Joe & Betty / Resia[?] / 2/11/48." Stamped "Photo by Paul T. Jones" on image and verso.
Billie Holiday is captured mid-performance as she stands before a microphone wearing flowers in her hair and a long, gauzy black dress. A few musicians are visible behind her, including Tommy Turrentine on muted trumped and Cecil Brooks II on drums, along with a few crowd members and part of the awning above reading "Bambola." The Bambola social club was a venue integral in Pittsburgh's Black entertainment scene in the 1940s.
