Details
An unidentified African American man holding a tenor guitar while wearing mix-matched clothing and a derby hat stands to the right and gives a questioning look to an unidentified African American woman holding a Fender electric bass guitar and pointing her finger at him during a performance in Chicago, Illinois. She wears a close-fitting hat with a flower sticking straight up out of the top of it and a sleeveless, fringed, culotte jumpsuit. They stand in front of a glass-block half wall with a drum set behind it. The woman's face is in profile from her left side.
