This is an original authentic (printed before the concert) program from the 4th Annual Pittsburgh-Courier Band Popularity Poll Winners MIDNITE JAZZ CONCERT on Saturday Eve., March 15, 1947 that featured among many others:

Billie Holiday
, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie and many more.
The concert was the biggest attraction in New York featuring all the greatest jazz stars and was a benefit for the Courier Charities Fund.  The program measures 8 1/2 x 11 inches and is in VG+++/NM- condition with a very slight vertical crease that is only apparent from the back cover.  24 pages of photos articles and ads!
The third photo I posted I found on-line of Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Illinois Jacquet, Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Guy (who was Billie's trumpeter, lover and drug supplier at the time) backstage at this concert.  A print of the photo is not included in the auction although I am happy to email the scan to the winner.
