He plans to create tutoring sessions for them.Â
âWeâre making this group to help introduce younger people into an appreciation of the big band sound,â Waterworth said.
Waterworth said he hopes to project his enthusiasm about the music to the next generation of players.
âIâve always had a passion for big band music,â Waterworth said. âMy dad even played for Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey when they passed through Chicago.â
The tutoring program is scheduled to begin this fall for musicians 16 and older and has a few requirements.
âOne of our main requirements is they must be able to sight-read,â Waterworth said. âThey donât have to be 100% proficient at it as long as they can get the majority of the notes. They should also have a couple of years of experience of playing in other bands under their belt.âÂ
