He is one of the founding members of the band, at the time having been a mere 17 years old, but nevertheless already having successfully substituted at the Vienna State Opera. However, his love for jazz proved to be the stronger force with the result that Thomas became one of the style-defining trumpet players of the younger generation of Austria musicians. This guy can play everything on his trumpet: jazz, classical music, crossover tunes and of course everything in between. Furthermore he’s a real whirlwind on stage, always good for a punch line with perfect timing in true stand-up comedian style. In his tranquil moments he’s composing for us, at the same time preparing his own, independent music projects.
