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!
