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 Columbia Basin Concert Band was first formed in the fall of 1974 by Don Paul. The purpose of this group is to provide an opportunity for individual musical expression and growth during one’s membership as well as contribute to the musical and/ or cultural environment of the Tri-Cities and surrounding area. Membership is comprised of Tri-City area musicians and CBC music students, both music majors and non-majors. The group performs at least three times during the academic year and also 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. We are excited to have the honor of playing with our special guest artist, Wayne Bergon for Friday evening’s event.

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, Kim Richmond, Red Kelly’s Owl Jazz Ensemble and Supersax, Matrix, Barney McClure & Jan Stentz, Bud Shank, Diane Schuur, Straight Ahead, Dennis DiBlasio, Ron McCorby, Consort Columbia, Cross Current, Jeff Hamilton, Jeff Clayton, Big Miller, Louise Rose, Viva Jazz, Buddy Baker, Bobby Shew, Bob Curnow & The New Jazz Repertory Ensemble, Big Band Northwest, The Jazz Police, Michael Brecker, the Yellow Jackets, Eddie Daniels, Bill Watrous, John Fedchock and The Columbia Basin Jazz Orchestra.
