A black-and-white photograph of Hazel Scott performing with Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra. Scott is depicted at the center of the photograph. She is shown standing in full length, singing into a microphone. She is wearing a light tone gown, off the shoulders, with black lace detailing at the neckline and over the front and side panels of the skirt, and has a white flower tucked into her hair. She is facing the audience and looking towards the viewer. She is holding the microphone stand with her proper left hand, and her proper right hand is balled at her side. Behind her are four members of Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra. All four men are wearing matching black tuxedos with white dress shirts and small black bowties. Al Hall stands on the far left side of the image, playing a double base. The man on his proper left side, Benny Morton, is playing a trombone.
