Gansch & Breinschmid

Who gets involved in something like that? Trumpet and double bass in a duo, ts ts ts ts… that suggests an awkward solution of two musicians sitting in the desert, who want to make music and can’t find anyone else but one a double bass player and the other a trumpet player. However, the opposite is the case, so to speak. The two ingenious instrumentalists have found each other in a gigantic pool of top musicians in Central Europe and make the impossible possible in a heart-warming and head-turning way: double bass and trumpet as a duo.

But if you add the voices of the two, the drums integrated into the bass, a bit of whistling, body percussion and the flugelhorn, you have a trio or quartet at work. A description of these two cross-country travellers hardly does them justice, as they all too easily go beyond the limits of any description. And what does the music sound like in the world of Brein and Gansch? It grooves, shreds, quivers, snaps, jokes, scurries, snorts and swings intergalactically between the star jazz and the planet Vienna, it’s a real joy. Bumtschakabumtrara.
