Guest Artist Gordon Goodwin
Gordon Goodwin aspired to lead a big band from
the time he was in high school. His position at the
forefront of the 18-piece Gordon Goodwin’s Big
Phat Band, one of the most innovative and versatile collectives of the past thirty years, speaks
reams about his seemingly limitless talents as an
instrumentalist, composer, arranger, conductor, and
bandleader. “Every time we make a record or play
a show, we’re trying to tap into that fundamental,
universal rhythm of big band music that seems to
transcend the generations,” says Goodwin.
Born in Wichita, Kansas, he moved with his family
to California when he was only two. At a very early
age, he would tune in to the Mickey Mouse Club on
TV and stand in the middle of his living room, pretending to conduct the orchestra. By grade school,
he was studying piano and saxophone – two instruments on which he excels to this day. During junior
high and high school, Goodwin was charting his
own big band compositions and grooving to Count
Basie, Duke Ellington, Buddy Rich, and Thad Jones.
He also played in youth orchestras that came out on
top of just about every competition in the region,
including the Monterey Jazz Festival.
As a student at Cal State Northridge, he spent his days studying orchestration and counterpoint, and his nights playing
piano and sax in a rock band whose repertoire included hits by jazz-rock powerhouse bands. After college, he provided
music for Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, California, and composed and arranged for TV series produced by Disney,
Warner Brothers, and others.
Over the past couple decades, Goodwin has composed, arranged and/or conducted for a host of artists, including Ray
Charles, Christina Aguilera, Natalie Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Mel Torme, and Quincy Jones. On the big screen, his scoring
and orchestration can be heard on dozens of films, including The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Get Smart, National Treasure,
The Incredibles, Remember the Titans, Armageddon, and Gone in 60 Seconds. He also has earned Multiple Emmy
Awards.
“The work I was doing in Hollywood was great, and yet it didn’t usually represent music that I believed in.” he says. “I
started thinking, ‘Was this going to be my legacy? Or is big-band jazz the thing that I really believe in and really want to
be committed to?’ And I realized that ‘maybe it’s time to plant my flag - to start getting it done.’ And that was when I
started to get serious about writing music that was honest, music I could stand up for.”
Swingin’ for the Fences, the debut recording of Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band, was released in 2000, featured guest
artists Arturo Sandoval and Eddie Daniels. It made history as the first commercially available DVD-Audio title ever released and the first DVD-Audio title to receive two Grammy nominations. Since then, the band has recorded five more
albums, including XXL, The Phat Pack, Act Your Age, That’s How We Roll, and Life in the Bubble. Guest artists have included Patti Austin, Michael Brecker, Chick Corea, Brian McNight, Diane Reeves, David Sanborn, Art Tatum, Take 6, and
more. Gordon and the Big Phat Band have garnered 20 Grammy nominations, with four wins, including one for “Best
Large Jazz Ensemble” for Life in the Bubble. The band has also won the Surround Sound Award for Best Made for Surround Sound Title (XXL) and spent 31 weeks on the Billboard jazz charts (The Phat Pack).

CBC Bands
CBC Jazz Ensemble
The CBC Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of Dr. Bryant Smith,
has been in existence for over 40 years. John Fitzpatrick, an excellent clarinetist, saxophonist, and the first director of the band,
hosted jazz workshops and guest artists such as Cannonball Adderly. In 1973, Don Paul, who took the job after Fitz’s untimely
death, continued the jazz program and brought the Jazz Unlimited festival to CBC. 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 and Jazz Unlimited festival was
headed by well-known composer/arranger Dave Barduhn, whose
groups made some of the first recordings of the CBC jazz band.
In the fall of 1986, Mel Clayton filled Barduhn’s shoes for a year, directing
the jazz band and running the festival. In 1987, Randy Hubbs became the director. Under his direction, the band maintained
an active performing, touring, and recording schedule, and was invited to perform at the University of North Texas Jazz
Festival in Addison, TX. Dr. Smith, whose musical career has been focused in Colorado, Utah, and Massachusetts, is continuing the tradition of performing and recording excellence that has become a hallmark of the CBC bands. To audition
for the CBC Jazz Ensemble, or other inquiries, contact Dr. Bryant Smith at 509-542-4398, or email him at [email protected].
Columbia Basin Concert Band
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 Tri-Cities 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, Gordon Goodwin for Friday evening’s event.

CBC Chamber Choir/DeserTones
The Chamber Choir a.k.a. DeserTones is a vocal ensemble of 30 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. This tradition continued through directors Stephen Baer, and
Dave Cazier until 2006, when its focus turned mainly to advanced choral literature.
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. In May 0f 2011,
the ensemble traveled to NYC to sing in the world premier of Vijay Singh’s Mass at Lincoln Center. The Chamber Choir/

Jazz Unlimited History
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-City 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.
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 McCroby, 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,
Wayne Bergeron, Bob Mintzer, Andy Martin, Bruce Babad, and The Columbia Basin Jazz Orchestra.
