content: This imaged depicts musician Dizzy Gillespie, outside, seated on the edge of a platform in a crowd of people at Resurrection City. Gillespie is sitting slightly sideways to the camera, facing to the viewer's right, among other sitting and standing individuals. Wearing a dark sweatshirt and dark pants, a button pin and thick rimmed glasses, he looks upwards, a cigarette between his lips. In the foreground is a young woman in a white sweater with a white scarf tied around her hair. She carries a purse over her left shoulder and holds an object against her chest with her bent left arm. She stands sideways to the viewer, looking to the viewer's left. In the background is a crowd of people standing in front of a group of trees.
