Bryan Davis was in Austria recently for the Gansch & Roses CD Presentation Tour, in support of the new album: “Resal“. The CD is available from Schagerl’s online store in Austria but has not yet appeared on Amazon or similar international distributors. In an effort to offer a competitive price for anybody outside of Europe who may be interested in the CD, we have procured a limited supply which are now available from the online store on this site. They are priced at $15(US) + $3 for postage and packing, within the USA. International shipping is priced at $7. If you wish to order from Europe, it will be cheaper to order from Schagerl or Hoanzl in Austria.

I’m pleased to announce that the new CD from Thomas Gansch (from Mnozil Brass) and his ‘other’ group, Gansch & Roses, has just been released. It’s entitled “Resal” and is on Schagerl Records, a subsidiary of Schagerl Instruments in Austria. It is currently available from Schagerl’s Online Store (all in German, sorry…) or here.

Once Amazon/iTunes links appear, I’ll update this post.

The music is an eclectic mix of jazz styles and includes Thomas’ “Der Rock des Trompeters – A Tribute to Bill Chase” which has become a YouTube favourite. That and a couple of other tracks comprise what we affectionately dubbed “The Trumpet Porn Suite” 😛

The line up is:
Trumpets: Thomas Gansch, Bryan Davis, Adam Rapa
Trombone: Johannes Herrlich
Saxes: Florian Trübsbach, Klaus Dickbauer
Fender Rhodes: Oliver Kent
Bass: Uli Langthaler
Drums: Mario Gonzi

Enjoy!

Following a call yesterday, I’ll be heading out on the road again this week! I’ll be playing with California Transit Authority on their dates in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and upstate New York. You can find the dates on my Schedule.

This should be a fun week! The band is built around Danny Seraphine – the original drummer from Chicago – and also features Marc Bonilla; guitarist with Emerson, Lake and Palmer! Always fun to play with the guys from the records!

I’ll try and remember to blog from the road. I’m certainly interested to see how New England compares to the original!

Bryan Davis is currently back in New York, following a most pleasant week down in Louisville, KY; playing 1st Trumpet for the National Tour of ‘Legally Blonde’. He will be in ‘the city that never sleeps’ until early August, when he heads back over to Austria to play with the LACJO once again, at Schloss Haindorf on August 5th. Bryan will be in Austria for a few days either side of this concert, teaching Trumpet lessons and visiting with friends. There are still a few lesson spots available.

Please check out the information in the Teaching section of the site if you wish to avail yourself of Bryan’s services as a Trumpet teacher for Private Lessons or Clinics, or as a guest artist with your School/College band. Don’t forget that Online Lessons via Webcam are available if you are elsewhere in the US, or indeed the world!

You can find all Bryan Davis’ contact information on the Contact page of this website. He looks forward to hearing from you soon!

We are pleased to announce that Bryan Davis has now joined the Artist Roster on JazzCorner.com – the premier portal for Jazz sites. Big thanks to Lois Gilbert, JazzCorner supremo, for welcoming Bryan to the family. In celebration of that, we will be upgrading and redesigning the site before long. Watch this space…

Looking ahead to the Autumn, Bryan will be returning to Austria again, this time to play with Gansch & Roses on their CD launch tour. The dates are between October 29th and November 3rd – further details on the Schedule page. The early mixes of “Resal”, the new CD, sound terrific – we look forward to sharing further details about it as we have them. Once again, as on the last tour, Bryan and Thomas Gansch will be joined in the trumpet section by Adam Rapa. The gigs will be a lot of fun – if last year is anything to go by. Decide for yourself – here’s a video of Thomas’ Bill Chase Tribute “Der Rock des Trompeters”:

Have a great summer!
