With Brain, Urine, and Melon

For 20 years, Thomas Gansch (trumpet, vocals) and Georg Breinschmid (double bass, vocals) have proven that a duo of these instruments can replace an entire orchestra. Their program "With Brain, Urine, and Melon" blends intergalactic jazz with Viennese charm and philosophical musings—all in the unusual 7/8 time signature. The music ranges from breathtaking virtuosity to quirky moderations where whistling, singing, and drumming on the bass take center stage.

With a mix of improvisational freedom, profound humor, and typically Viennese lightness, the two create a unique sonic experience. Their playing is sometimes tender, sometimes wild, but always at the highest level—a night that invites celebration of 20 years of musical partnership.
