Product Information
Billy May was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1916. At school he learned to play the brass bass (tuba), trombone and trumpet, and performed not only in several of the school bands but also with outside groups. At first, his regular instrument was the trombone but gradually he gave preference to the trumpet. On completing his education, he simply increased his involvement in music and earned some extra money by transcribing from records the arrangements of tunes played by the popular bands of the day. In doing this, he learned the basics of arranging for a dance band and began to make arrangements for the bands for whom he was playing.
