Ganc was a sideman for Stevie Wonder in his four performances in 1995 at the Tenth Free Jazz Festival. As a saxophonist, he has performed with the Orquestra Sinfônica Brasileira and the Orquestra Sinfônica de Brasília. He also was included in the compilation Sopro Contemporâneo Brasileiro (Visom Digital, 1994), a selection of some of the best wind instrumentalists in Brazil. He has performed and recorded for theater musicals (Pixinguinha by Amir Haddad, Noel Rosa by Tim Rescala, and O Corsário do Rei by Augusto Boal/Chico Buarque, among others), cinema soundtracks (O Homem da Capa Preta by David Tygel and Dança dos Bonecos by Nivaldo Ornelas), TV, and dance shows. He launched his first solo CD, Baladas Brasileiras, in 1996 through Leblon Records. The same album was released in Europe by the French company Buda Musique, who distributes it worldwide. ~ Alvaro Neder
