I CAN’T STOP LOVING YOU— Don Gibson, arr. Quincy Jones

“I Can’t Stop Loving You” was written by country singer/songwriter Don Gibson in 1957. At the
time of Gibson’s death in 2003, the song had been covered by over 700 artists – most notably, Ray
Charles who covered the song on his 1962 album, Modern Sounds in Country and W estern Music.
Brazoswood
Charles’ version would go on to reach #1 in both the United States and the U.K.

Quincy Delight Jones Jr. (born March 14, 1933) is an American record producer, multi-
instrumentalist, songwriter, composer, arranger, and film / television producer. His career spans
over 60 years in the entertainment industry with a record 80 Grammy Award nominations, 28
Grammy Awards, and a Grammy Legend Award in 1992.

Jones came to prominence in the 1950s as a jazz arranger and conductor, before moving on to work
in pop music and film scores. In 1957 he settled in Paris, where he studied composition and
theory with Nadia Boulanger and Olivier Messiaen. In 2013, Jones was inducted into the Rock &
Roll Hall of Fame, and was named by Time magazine to be one of the most influential jazz
musicians of the 20th century.

Jones’ arrangement of “I Can’t Stop Loving You”, recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra,
received the Grammy Award in 1962 for Best Instrumental Arrangement.

BUT BEAUTIFUL— Johnny Burke & Jimmy Van Heusen, arr. Lennie Niehaus

The team of Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke created some of the most popular songs of the
1940s. Most notably, they collaborated in writing songs for Hollywood musicals of the era, and
received an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1944. The duo’s biggest hits of the time
were featured in movies starring Bing Crosby, including “But Beautiful” which was featured in the
movie Road to Rio. Renditions of the song by Crosby, as well as by Frank Sinatra would be top 20
hits in 1948.

Lennie Niehaus began his career with the Stan Kenton Orchestra in 1951, and toured with the band
for six months before he was drafted into the Army in 1952. After being discharged in 1954, he
rejoined Kenton for five years as the lead alto saxophonist. He composed and arranged extensively
for the Kenton band, being a feature soloist and having numerous arrangements featured on
Kenton's Capitol Records releases. He had the longest and most recorded tenure of any of the lead
alto players with the group. Niehaus left the Kenton orchestra as an instrumentalist in 1959 to
pursue music composition in the studios. He would continue to serve as a staff arranger for Kenton
into the 1960s while writing and arranging music for acts such as the King Sisters, Mel
Tormé, Dean Martin, and Carol Burnett.

This arrangement of “But Beautiful” was featured on Kenton’s 1961 album, Sophisticated
Approach, featuring 18 standard ballads, all arranged by Niehaus.
 Program Notes
LEGACY – Gordon Goodwin

A keyboardist and woodwind player, Gordon Goodwin has built a larger-than-life reputation
throughout the music industry for his composing, arranging and playing skills. Ray Charles,
Christina Aguilera, Johnny Mathis, Toni Braxton, John Williams, Natalie Cole, David Foster,

Brazoswood
Sarah Vaughan, Mel Tormé, Brian McKnight and Quincy Jones are just a few of the artists
with whom he has worked. Goodwin has also conducted world-renowned symphony
orchestras in Atlanta, Dallas, Utah, Seattle, Toronto and London. Most famously, Mr.
Goodwin serves as the leader of L.A.’s famous Big Phat Band. The Big Phat Band takes the
big band tradition into the new millennium with a contemporary, highly original sound
featuring Goodwin’s witty, intricate, and hard-swinging compositions in a veritable grab bag
of styles: swing, Latin, blues, classical, rock and more.

A steady, persistent audio diet of the giants of jazz, pop, rock and funk has nourished
Goodwin’s being since childhood. Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Buddy Rich, Thad Jones and
Mel Lewis, Earth, Wind and Fire, and Tower of Power, among many others, filled the well for
the music his band makes today. And like those other bands, Goodwin’s music is nothing less
than astonishing when experienced live. Goodwin’s ability to combine jazz excellence with
any musical style makes his writing appealing to fans across the spectrum. That’s why both
beboppers and headbangers dig Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band.

“Legacy” was commissioned by the Brazoswood High School Band, in honor of Brian
Casey’s retirement after a 31 year career in music education. It received its premiere
performance in 2019 with Mr. Goodwin in attendance as the guest artist. We are honored to
be joined in this performance by Mr. Goodwin, Mr. Casey, and Brazoswood Alumnus Steve
Hunt as we celebrate the amazing legacy of jazz at Brazoswood.

BEACH ASSIGNMENT – Ryan Haines

Ryan Haines has performed as a featured trombonist at international music conferences, jazz
festivals, and before audiences throughout the United States. He is the lead trombonist,
Musical Director, Producer, and Chief Arranger for the Falconaires Jazz Ensemble, based at
the USAF Academy in Colorado. Ryan has composed and arranged music for 9 Air Force
recordings and videos by premier ensembles including the Falconaires and the Airmen of
Note. He has written an extensive list of published music for jazz ensemble, as well as
trombone and tuba / euphonium ensembles. His 3 original big band recordings— To the Sky,
New Horizons, and People and Places received critical acclaim internationally. Jazz industry
reviewers use phrases such as “world-class”, “stellar”, “amazing”, and “as good as it gets” to
describe his trombone playing and writing style. Ryan is the Adjunct Instructor for Jazz
Trombone at the University of Texas at Arlington, and held similar positions at the University
of North Texas and Arizona State University.
“Beach Assignment” is a movement from Haines’ collection, the “Sky Blue Suite” which he
recorded in its entirety on his first big band recording, To the Sky, released in 2001. The “Sky
Blue Suite” is a musical depiction of various aspects of military life. “Beach Assignment” is
an energetic, light-hearted piece, representing the moments of relaxation and down-time,
between military engagements.

Even for a successful composer and arranger in Hollywood,
Gordon Goodwin’s numbers are impressive: A 2006 Grammy award for
his instrumental arrangement of “Incredits” from the Pixar film The
Incredibles, three Emmy Awards, and thirteen Grammy nominations.

Here’s another impressive number to add to the list: eighteen. As in the

number of musicians in Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band, one of the most
exciting large jazz ensembles on the planet. Established in 2000, the Big
Phat Band’s debut recording, Swingin’ For The Fences featured guest

Brazoswood
artists Arturo Sandoval and Eddie Daniels. It made history as the first
DVD-Audio title to receive two Grammy nominations.

The band’s second album, X X L, was released in 2003, and garnered three
Grammy nominations for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album, Best
Instrumental Composition and Best Instrumental Arrangement while
winning the Surround Sound Award for “Best Made for Surround Sound
Title.” The list of guest artists matched the high quality of the first release
and featured, among others, Johnny Mathis and the incomparable Michael
Brecker.

The Big Phat Band’s third album, The Phat Pack, with guest stars Dianne Reeves, David Sanborn, Eddie Daniels and
Take 6, received a Grammy nomination and spent 31 weeks on the Billboard jazz charts. The Big Phat Band’s
fourth recording, A ct Y our A ge, far outsold every other big band record in its path, and garnered three Grammy
nominations. Produced by acclaimed guitarist Lee Ritenour, it featured a host of terrific guests including Patti
Austin, Chick Corea, Dave Grusin, and Lee Ritenour, plus a special appearance by the late pianist Art Tatum.

Goodwin’s cinematic scoring and orchestration craft can be heard on such films as The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,
Escape to Witch Mountain, Get Smart, Glory Road, National Treasure, The Incredibles, Remember The Titans,
Armageddon, The Majestic, Con Air, Gone In 60 Seconds, Enemy of the State, Star Trek Nemesis and even the
classic cult film A ttack Of The Killer Tomatoes.

Steve Hunt, throughout his career, has stayed true to an uncompromising

vision of composing and performing jazz music from his heart. He has
continued to push himself technically, focusing on a musical style which is
both challenging and meaningful.
A proud Brazoswood alumnus, Steve credits jazz greats Keith Jarrett, Joe
Zawinul, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Thelonius Monk as strong
influences to his style. During his formative years, he studied with concert
pianist Albert Hirsh, and jazz pianists Sid Davis and Lyle Mays who all
helped form his lighting fast technique and unique style. Steve later
attended the Berklee College of Music where he continued his study of
jazz.
After recording and performing with top Boston jazz musicians such as
Randy Roos and Tiger Okoshi, and leading his own jazz fusion band,
Steve spent the next ten years on the road with several renowned jazz
artists such as Billy Cobham, Stanley Clarke, Angela Bofill, Tom Brown,
and Allan Holdsworth. During this time, Steve also served as musical
director of Jazz Explosion, where he led the trio which headlined artists
Freddy Hubbard, Gato Barbaira, Stanley Turentine, Ramsey Lewis,
violinist Noel Pointer, Kenny G, and the late Phillis Hyman.
Steve's desire towards challenging himself is no where more evident than with his long time association with Allan
Holdsworth, whose progressive and innovative style has helped Steve to further his own musical development.
While touring with Holdsworth, Steve was featured in the Japanese edition of Keyboard Magazine. Other noteworthy
recording contributions include Stanley Clarke's CD releases: If This Bass Could Only Talk and East River Drive.
Steve reached a major milestone, producing his solo jazz CD From Y our Heart and Y our Soul.
In addition to performing and touring, Steve also serves as an instructor at the renowned Berklee College of Music in
Boston and runs his own recording studio, The Kitchen, which has gained an outstanding reputation for its
professional and technical capability. Steve currently resides in Massachusetts, with his wife, Gina.
