<p>This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpet performer, composer and designer <strong>Thomas Gansch</strong>, is brought to you by <strong><a href= "https://bobreeves.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bob Reeves Brass</a></strong>.<br /> <br /> <strong>This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here:</strong></p> <p><strong>"<a href="https://youtu.be/F6bkCDk904A" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thomas Gansch Trumpet Interview</a>"</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://bobreeves.com/blog/thomas-gansch-trumpet-interview-the-other-side-of-the-bell-157" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>And, find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here</strong></a></p> <p class="Lexical__paragraph">From his groundbreaking Mnozil Brass to his original take on a rotary valve trumpet, the "Gansch Horn," Thomas Gansch has made an indelible impact on professional music.</p> <p class="Lexical__paragraph">Thomas joins us today to share his musical journey from a young boy, surrounded by instruments in a musician's family, to becoming a prominent trumpet player in Austria and beyond.</p> <p class="Lexical__paragraph">He opens up quite honestly about his struggles with classical music education, and family expectations, before eventually making his transition towards jazz, which he embraced as part of his wide-range of musical interests.</p> <p class="Lexical__paragraph">Growing up as the son of renowned Austrian composer Johann Gansch, and as the much younger brother of Hans Gansch, a prominent trumpet soloist and professor himself (and principal trumpeter of the Vienna Philharmonic), there was a lot of push and pull as both brothers sought their own place of identity, creativity and freedom to pursue their musical dreams.</p> <p class="Lexical__paragraph">It was through humor and originality that Thomas truly found his wings, particularly with the Mnozil Brass septet, considered the "Monty Python of the musical world." Going strong since 1992, Mnozil forms just part of Thomas' busy schedule that comprises all sorts of musical styles and groups.</p> <p class="Lexical__paragraph">And he gives us a tour of the original Gansch Horn, a rotary trumpet that can be played with one hand, which gives it its distinctive arced bell shape. Thomas worked directly with the noted Austrian manufacturer Schagerl in the early 2000's to create the horn that has become his identity.</p> <p class="Lexical__paragraph">From practice routines to juggling gigs, jamming with Wynton Marsalis and Jerry Hey to looking after your body and mind, this is a wonderful conversation of breadth and inspiration!</p> <p class="Lexical__paragraph"><strong>About Thomas Gansch:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Thomas Gansch, born in 1975, has always successfully eluded any categorisation.</p> <p dir="ltr">Whether in the formation "Mnozil Brass", which he co-founded and with which he has been performing around the world for thirty years, in the legendary "Vienna Art Orchestra", as a soloist with a large orchestra or as part of a family theatrical ensemble with his wife Theresia and the joint programme "Doppelgansch", whether as a composer, arranger, compere, pop singer, big band leader or brass band conductor, the native of Lower Austria does not allow himself to be confined to any musical genre.</p> <p dir="ltr">He likes to summarise all varieties of his art under the term "music" that "either touches him or doesn't touch him" in order to put all prejudices to one side and to give listeners an intuitive approach to listening.</p> <p dir="ltr">Various projects have taken Gansch to over 45 countries and his first musical experiences in the brass band of his father Johann Gansch S. (1925 - 1998), which he - in the spirit of the gifted improviser - always integrates directly into his work.</p> <p dir="ltr">Today, Gansch draws on his wealth of artistic experience and also brings his engaging personality to every project, from symphony orchestras to chamber music ensembles, from jazz to new music, from pop acts to musical theatre and comedy programmes, into his performances.</p> <p dir="ltr">There are no hierarchies in his understanding of art, and so he manages to inspire and "pick up" the audience again and again.</p> <div draggable="false" data-pm-slice="1 1 []" data-en-clipboard= "true"> <div draggable="false" data-pm-slice="1 1 []" data-en-clipboard= "true"> <div draggable="false" data-pm-slice="1 1 []" data-en-clipboard= "true"> <p><strong>Episode Links:</strong></p> </div> </div> </div> <div draggable="false"> <ul> <li>Mnozil Brass: <a href= "https://mnozilbrass.at/en">https://mnozilbrass.at/en</a></li> <li draggable="false" data-pm-slice="1 1 []" data-en-clipboard= "true">YouTube: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/@ThomasGanschOFFICIAL" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@ThomasGanschOFFICIAL</a></li> <li draggable="false" data-pm-slice="1 1 []" data-en-clipboard= "true">Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thomasgansch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@thomasgansch</a> </li> <li draggable="false" data-pm-slice="1 1 []" data-en-clipboard= "true">Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/thomasganschofficial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@thomasganschofficial</a> </li> </ul> </div> <p><strong><br /> Bob Reeves Brass Events and Appearances:</strong></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr"><strong>Next Up!
