Bill May has been photographing the worlds most famous jazz musicians for decades. He also taught music to children in Newark for forty years and retired as the district's Director of Artistic and performing arts.
He found inspiration early in his life from his father, Boyd Vernon May, a man of faith who was a working man by day, and musician by night.
Boyd Vernon May died in 1993.
