Thomas Gansch from Mnozil Brass and Much More - Brass Chats, Season 2 Episode 11

Here is our prescribed method for watching this, our latest installment of Brass Chats, in FOUR easy steps:
1. If you’ve never watched Thomas Gansch and Mnozil Brass perform before, find them on KZbin and watch them blow a couple tunes out of the water. If you’re already familiar with them, go watch your favorite one
2. Search for your jaw on the floor, wipe your tears away, mend the shattered pieces of your broken heart, and pull yourself back together as you get ready for step 3
3. Watch this interview with our new favorite human being, Thomas Gansch
4. Go back, armed with what you now know about fearlessness, individuality, sound concepts, performing concepts, artistry, emotion, theater, Al Pacino, and much more, and repeat step 1 for a whole new experience
This method will be the best hour and a half you’ll spend all year on becoming a better artist. If we still haven’t sold you (which, why are you even on this page), within this Brass Chat you will find Thomas Gansch’s ruminations on:
-the beginnings of Mnozil
-the correct and incorrect pronunciations of Mnozil
-the key to cosmic understanding
-finding his own musical identity
-falling in love with jazz
-the best trumpet player that has ever walked this planet
-how much he practices per day
-who he wants to play at his funeral
-the most important thing in life (spoiler alert: it may or may not be five hundred dubba C’s in a row)
-the secret to his unstoppable endurance
-his daily warm-up/routine
-Mark Gould
-his biggest vice
…and much more. Eat up, you savages!
Love,
Monsters
PS: if you’ve never seen Mnozil, start looking for the next time they come to town. It is a different, much better experience than watching them online, and is worth missing your grandma’s birthday, or taco night, or church, or your kid’s recital, or your kid’s first steps, or your kid’s birth, or whatever you people do in your free time. Cheers!

Love the Pat mention, what a great interview had me dying of laughter and also gave great information

[@SteveKnowsTrumpet-ue6eg]

A tremendous, mesmerizing interview!! Thank you.

[@davidfreel1451]

Thanks guys, it's a real pleasure to hear musicians talk freely.

[@ojtrumpet]

Very good interview! I´ve heard Mnozil a couple of times here in Norway. Great show, fun, and they have such a great dynamic range from wisper to FFFF. Have also heard Thomas playing jazz. Excellent musician.

[@georgestith5552]

Great interview. I completely lost it thinking about Thomas standing behind Gould and blaring on the trumpet every time Gould dropped the 'f' bomb. So glad we are getting more Brass Chats. Keep it up!

[@robertguilbault7248]

Great job guys. I laughed out loud and thoroughly enjoyed the interview. Love the stories Mnozil tells when they play. I waste time on the internet, but this was an hour well spent. Thank you so much.

[@4351steve]

Great, so genuine and spontaneous. I love to hear Thomas play. And who couldn’t love the band. It looked like a fun interview.

[@herrstiefel603]

He is the funniest and one of the best musicians i know

[@artisfine]

Thanks Thomas ! Love your aproach to music and life and of course....your humour 👍

[@goldenpooper4326]

I love it when the crew says stuff in the background! (:

[@XEUTIOB]

Respect Thomas, réussite largement méritée pour ton travail sans limite. Ta sincérité et ton humanité musicale encouragent à la pratique instrumentale!

[@BillBenzon]

Lee Morgan, YES!

"You know you have to go on stage and drop your pants and fire a rocket". Sounds about right. 😂

[@JonnyRash]

I have the utmost respect for Thomas' ability to make such a superb interview out of such terrible questions

[@BrassChats]

Jon Sanders I’m the guy that did this interview(Chris). You’re totally right, terrible questions. I was really dang nervous because Thomas is one of my heroes! Obviously, I handled it poorly and we were lucky to have Thomas on because he’s so smart and funny...he saved the interview. Glad you enjoyed him at least. Hope you give our other videos a chance to be better.

[@JonnyRash]

@@BrassChats Thanks for responding. Don't beat yourself up. I really enjoyed the interview. I think your nervousness added to it. Which of your other interviews do you recommend I start with?

[@deezashmeeza3062]

@@BrassChats bruh you were fine.. Never apologise, never explain!

[@connor346]

Loved this interview. What is the warm-up you were talking about at 25:30? I would enjoy actually feeling good after warming up.

[@torbjorn68]

He is an amazing player and amazing person.

[@z.h.w5567]

Great musician and entertainer.

[@tilmaen]

Does anyone have a link to the petruschka video he mentioned? Awesome interview! BTW, I don't think the questions were stupid, they were real, and that's what it's all about.
