Michael T. Otto lernte sein Trompetenhandwerk an der Musikhochschule Köln bei Prof. Malte Burba . Das lässt aufhorchen, denn unter anderem Till Brönner , Axel Dörner und Joo Kraus lernten ihre Trompetentechnik ebenfalls bei Malte Burba. Das Jazz-Handwerk erlernte Michael T. Otto ebenfalls in Köln und beim New Yorker Pianisten Peter Madsen .
Michael T. Otto played his own designed Trumpet ELEPHANT
At the age of nine, Michael T. Otto began to play the trumpet in a
local brass band. After a brief odyssey with military music he began
his studies with M. Burba at the Cologne Conservatory, where he also
entered into the realms of jazz and composition. He founded the "Brass
Band Oberschwaben-Allgäu" (1992 - 2001), wherein he was the
principal cornettist, as well as the "Big Band LA", as part of the
music school Langenargen, where he teaches.
His Debut album "Spin Trumpet" was released by the renouned label
"Thorofon" in 2003. One year later, he founded the international
"mto-jazz-quartett", featuring Olivier Hutman (Paris), Andy McKee (New
York) and Stefan Will (St. Gallen, Switzerland), an ensemble dedicated
to modern jazz. He furthermore is the founder of the "Erste Deutsche
Stubenjazz Combo", an unconventional ensemble of instruments (vocals,
kuhlohorn, trombone, accordion, guitar, double bass) that interprets
contemporary arrangements of traditional German songs. In 2005, M.T.
Otto teamed up with the Parisian songwriter Didier Delepeleer to create
the French-German children's musical "Pigeon Vole oder ein Floh in
geheimer Mission", that was awarded with a second prize by the Robert
Bosch foundation. Since 2006 he develops trumpets and flugelhorns with
the instrument maker Friedrich Lüttke.
