One of Bellson's dearest colleagues, Jack J. Hayes, an Oscar-nominated composer and orchestrator who worked on more than 200 films during a Hollywood career that spanned 60 years, died August 24 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. He composed several classical works and collaborated with jazz drummer Louis Bellson on numerous jazz and orchestral pieces.

Orchestrator Hayes worked on 'The Color Purple,' 'Star Trek'. "The Magnificent Seven" and "To Kill a Mockingbird" for Bernstein, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "Days of Wine and Roses" for Mancini, "The Greatest Story Ever Told" and "Airport" for Alfred Newman, "In Cold Blood" for Jones, and "Casino Royale" and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" for Bacharach. Hayes also composed TV scores, including such Westerns as "Riverboat," "Wagon Train," "The Virginian" and "Gunsmoke."
