Loudini interviews Tom Gimbel

 A multi-instrumentalist, Tom plays rhythm guitar, keyboards, sax, and flute. It was the music of Blood Sweat and Tears and Chicago that truly fired his interest in the sound of horns. Equally influenced by progressive rock bands, it was the groundbreaking work of big band trumpet player, Maynard Ferguson, that changed his life. When I started playing sax I tried to sound like him, learning to nail the high notes, reveals Gimbel. This was good training to play the solo on Urgent years later
