Billie Holiday didn't have a regular "band". She was a solo artist who sang with whatever musicians the club owner had engaged for the gig. Likewise, when a recording session was planned, she sang in front of the group that the record company or producer had arranged.
In a band, take jazz for example, a trumpet solo can be a great experience to listen to. You can play it solo but eventually a musical group will use it. I have heard trumpets played solo and they are a magnificent instrument after a required time of study and practice.
