to play, Bergeron took to the trumpet quickly. “I found I had natural
ability for playing the trumpet in the upper register at an early
age.” Bergeron credits his junior high school band director and first
trumpet teacher, Ron Savitt, for molding his natural abilitiess into
practical working skills.
In 1986, Bergeron landed the lead trumpet position with thee
Maynard Ferguson Band. He can be heard on such MF
recordings as “Body & Soul,” “Big Bop Nouveau,” “Brass
Attitude” and “The One & Only Maynard Ferguson.”

had this to say during a radio interview: “Wayne is the mostt
musical lead trumpet player I’ve ever had on my band.”

CBC CHAMBER CHOIR/
DESERTONES
The Chamber Choir a.k.a. DeserTones is a vocal ensemble of
36 singers and is part of the established music curriculum at
Columbia Basin College. DeserTones was established in the
1960s by Terry Crab as an auditioned choir performing a very
wide range of choral literature from pop/show to traditional.
It was in the early 1970s, under the direction of Byron Gjerde,
that DeserTones began to center on vocal jazz as its sole
repertoire.
The DeserTones has established an outstanding reputation
in the Northwest with tours, competitions, and other
performances. DeserTones has appeared at Northwest ACDA
and MENC conferences as well as being the featured college
vocal jazz ensemble at the 1983 NAJE convention in Kansas City. DeserTones also takes on
the double duty as CBC’s Chamber Choir, learning a variety of traditional choral music in
addition to some vocal jazz. In May of 2006, DeserTones traveled to New York City to perform
Mozart’s Mass in C Minor with the New England Symphony Orchestra in the legendary Carnegie
Hall. The group returned again to New York’s Carnegie Hall to sing the Gabriel Faure’ Requiem under the direction of world
renown conductor & composer, John Rutter in May of 2009. The Chamber Choir/DeserTones is an auditioned ensemble,
which includes the members of FreeForm.
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
The symphony orchestra at CBC rounds out the performance
with opportunities for students seeking to prepare for a lifetime
of music. The Symphony draws from the Baroque and Classical
repertoire to offer a program that is at once entertaining while
providing a fundamental performance education. Conductor D.
Robert Burroughs brings a wealth of directing and performance
experience to the podium with the Columbia Basin College
Symphony Orchestra.
CBC BANDS
CBC JAZZ ENSEMBLE
The CBC Jazz Ensemble has been in existence for over 40 years. The first known director of the band was John Fitzpatrick
who led the band from its beginning until December of 1972.
John was an excellent clarinetist and saxophonist
and organized some very fine jazz bands. He
also hosted some jazz workshops and brought in
guest jazz groups and artists such as Cannonball
Adderly. In 1973, Don Paul took the job after
Fitz’s untimely death. Don continued the jazz
program and also brought the Jazz Unlimited
festival to CBC. For a while, the music program
fielded a big jazz band plus smaller jazz combos of various
instrumentations. The band twice attended the festival at
Orange Coast College in California and took yearly tours of the
Northwest. From 1983-1986, the jazz band was headed by
well-known composer/arranger Dave Barduhn whose groups
made some of the first recordings of the CBC jazz band. Dave
also took over the running of the jazz festival. In the fall of
1986, Mel Clayton filled Barduhn’s shoes for a year directing
the jazz band and running the festival. Since the fall of 1987, Randy Hubbs has been the director. Under his direction, the band
maintains an active performing, touring, and recording schedule. The CBC Jazz Ensemble’s most recent CD, “Breakthrough” is
available for purchase at the festival sales table along with earlier CD’s “Eastside Story”, “Two Weeks Notice” and “Fun Time.”
Recently, the group had the honor of being invited to perform at the University of North Texas Jazz Festival in Addison, TX.
COLUMBIA BASIN
C O N C E R T B A N D The

Paul. The purpose of this group is to

music students, both music majors and non-majors. The group

performs a number of concerts during the summer months
at various community events. Randy Hubbs, the current
conductor, began as associate conductor during the fall of 1987
and has taken the position of conductor since the fall of 1997.
The Columbia Basin Concert Band has grown to over 65 members and has performed as a guest ensemble at the CWU Wind
Ensemble Festival as well as the EWU Solid Brass Ensemble Festival.
THE COLUMBIA BASIN
JAZZ ORCHESTRA
The Columbia Basin Jazz Orchestra,
under the direction of Randy Hubbs, was
formed in October of 2003 and made its
public debut at the Jazz Unlimited Festival
- Friday, April 16, 2004. This is an 18-piece big band
that is made up of professional musicians from the TriCities area and the surrounding region. The CBJO is a
new repertory ensemble intent on offering programs of
various styles of jazz ranging from Swing-era to Neophonic and contemporary big band literature.
Each fall, the CBJO presents a concert in the community
and has also become the featured group for this festival.

JAZZ UNLIMITED HISTORY
AVAILABLE AT THIS YEAR’S JAZZ UNLIMITED
The first Jazz Unlimited festival was hosted jointly by the Tri-Cities high school music departments in 1971, with nine high
school jazz bands participating. It continued the following year with assistance from the Tri-Cities Water Follies Association,
thus the name Jazz Unlimited. The festival site was moved to Columbia Basin College in 1973 when Don Paul moved here from
Kennewick High School. Eventually, the sponsorship of the Water Follies Association was dropped but the name Jazz Unlimited
was retained. The jazz choir portion of the festival was added in 1974 by Byron Gjerde. In 1986, a concert choir portion was
added by Steve Baer. In 2001, FreeForm began hosting a CD release concert which showcases selections from their yearly
recording session. Since its inception, the festival has grown until as many as 61 bands and 93 choirs have participated, the
maximum that our facilities can accommodate. In 1998, a concert band division was added by Randy Hubbs.
The CBC Jazz Ensemble’s latest CD, “Breakthrough”, and the
18th Annual CD featuring CBC’s vocal Jazz group FreeForm.
Cost is $10. They will be available for purchase by the
Registration table along with other CBC Music Department
CD’s.
Guest artists from past years include: Shelly Manne and his Mannekind, Stan Kenton and his orchestra, Fred Raulston Trio,
