Calgary Jazz Orchestra plays Bird and Trane!! April 18th

The Calgary Jazz Orchestra is excited to present the music of two more amazing jazz artists for our upcoming concert:

The Music of Charlie “Yardbird” Parker and John “Trane” Coltrane
Date: Sunday April 18, 2010
Time: Doors at 6:30 PM, Show at 7:00 PM
Location: River Park Church, 3818 – 14A Street SW
Tickets: $20 at the door or www.ticketmaster.ca (search for Calgary Jazz Orchestra)

Charlie Parker and John Coltrane were two of the most prolific saxophonists in jazz history. Together, they helped create be-bop jazz, and the CJO will perform original arrangements of select recordings from these two jazz greats.

Miles Davis put it best, when he said it sounded like Coltrane was possessed when he put his horn to his mouth. We will do our best to recreate that passion and energy, with some high intensity solos that are not to be missed! We’ll also perform original arrangements of some of Parker’s famous up-tempo songs, which will showcase his innovative and unique approach to melody, rhythm and harmony.

The CJO consists of four trumpets, four trombones, five saxophones and a four-piece rhythm section. Those who have joined us in the past know we are far from a ‘typical’ orchestra. We are high energy, we are passionate, and we think we are fun! We try our best to provide an upbeat atmosphere and we hope to engage and reach you, our audience, through every one of our songs.

As this is the final show for our 2009/2010 season, we hope to see you there! We will be releasing information on our 2010/2011 season in the coming months…stay tuned!

All the best, and thank you for your continued support.

Paul Ashwell's P.A.S.T. at the Auburn Saloon April 10th. Get Funked Up!!

It'll be almost 2 moths since our first sold out performance at the Mickey's Juke Joint and we're back to perform at the Auburn Saloon on April 10th, 2010.

A ten piece band (six horns and the rhythm section) was put together by trombone player, bandleader and arranger Paul Ashwell. All the arrangements was written by Paul for this unique rhythm and horns combination that only consists 3 saxophones and 3 trombones. Surprisingly (and not surprisingly due to Paul's incredible knowledge, skills and talents in arranging) the band sounds really "juicy" and tight and it's not missing a trumpet section at all.

The name of the band is P.A.S.T. and comes from the abbreviation of Paul Ashwell's Sonic Transportation. which also tells what kind of music you can expect to hear. The band plays mainly music from 60's, 70's and 80's and covers such names as Earth, Wind & Fire, Tower Of Power, The Beatles, Pat Metheny, Maceo Parker and many more and also Paul's original music.
Wicked arrangements are spiced up with great solos by the all star hand picked Calgary musicians.

Trombones:    Paul Ashwell, Dave Reid (CPO), Greg Robertson
Saxophones:  Mike Clark, Gareth Hughes and Mr. Pat Belliveau
Rhythm:        Tyler Hornby (dr), Egor Ukoloff (keyboards), Brad Steckel (guitar) and a "Mr Funky" himself Hank Insell!    

Check that crew out!!!

Here is a little sample of what you can expect to see:



So, if you're looking a place to get seriously funked up come to Auburn Salon on April 10th. Will funk you up like nobody else before!!

The performance will commit at 9:30 PM an there will be $15 cover. Please come early to get better seats as the place will be sold out!
