Richard Watters

Born: May 13

Hi! I’m a long time jazz fan and occasional Chicago-area musician (trumpet/flugelhorn). I began playing trumpet about 1962 as a grade-school student. By my Senior year at Downers Grove South Highschool I was a member of five different music organizations: Marching Band, Chamber Band, Orchestra, Jazz Band and various brass ensembles. During my latter years of highschool (1969-1971), I attended the 9th, 10th and 11th Annual Oak Lawn Jazz Festivals (a.k.a. Annual Chicagoland Stage Band Festival) as a member of the Downers Grove South Highschool Stage Band. The festival featured 110 or so highschool bands competing for the top 5 honors on the Sunday night show when the winning bands, ensembles and soloists were announced after a weekend of judging and clinics with the sidemen from the hosting band...during one of these fests I had the opportunity to "sit in" with the hosting band (for one tune) which happened to be Stan Kenton's Big Band

Joey Sommerville

Unlike most trumpet players, the basis of Joey's musical essence lies in the Baptist church. "When I was a teenager, I would judge the caliber of my playing by the number of people in the congregation who 'got happy'. If you aren't touching the listener's soul, then you aren't really playing music. Soul communication is the key." He has performed and recorded with a wide range of artists from the jam-rock icon group Phish to hip-hop hitmaker Jazze Pha. He was also the featured instrumental soloist on the Cirque de Soleil's Grammy-nominated and Juno Award winning album, Alegria. In 2001, he scored a Gavin Top 20 Contemporary Jazz hit as a writer/producer with Bob Baldwin for the single "Business Call"
