EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the enigmatic and soulful presence of Billie Holiday, the legendary jazz singer, as she performs at a nightclub on Manhattan Island, New York City, during the 1940s. The photograph, taken by renowned jazz photographer William Paul Gottlieb, was published in Downbeat magazine in February 1947. Billie Holiday, born Eleanora Fagan, was a trailblazing figure in the golden age of jazz, known for her distinctive voice and raw emotional expression. In this image, she is seen holding a microphone, her intense gaze fixed on the audience, her hand poised to deliver another soul-stirring performance. The photograph captures the essence of a woman who poured her heart and soul into her music, leaving an indelible mark on the history of American music. The image is a testament to the power of jazz as a form of artistic expression and the enduring influence of Billie Holiday as a jazz vocalist and cultural icon.
