简要描述
"Stefan Redtenbacher is the UK's funkiest Austrian import" (606 Jazz Club)
详细描述
Stefan Redtenbacher’s brand of funk is a far cry from the oom-pah-pah that he grew up with in his native country of Austria. Redtenbacher still loves strudel but definitely favours the funk. His work with Redtenbacher’s Funkestra is the rare culmination of studying and living the funk in numerous countries, across two continents and through generations of bass-loving. He has arrived at a funk defiant of classification or borders; a funk all his own.
简介
Stefan Redtenbacher and Redtenbacher’s Funkestra
Austrian-bred funk fiend Stefan Redtenbacher is an anomaly, anachronism and a defiant demolisher of the pigeon-hole. Currently based in London, Stefan and his band Redtenbacher’s Funkestra deliver “out-and-out spectacular funk” (Snowboy) or, as UK Bass Guitar Magazine put it, “a near perfect slice of jazz-funk from one of Europe’s great players.”
The prolific group have recorded four albums and have two releases slated for late 2012 and spring 2013: a funky Christmas EP dropping November 15 featuring a ‘60s boogaloo, bossanova, happy-go-lucky, big band approach spanning funky ‘70s disco to contemporary breakbeat. A March 2013 release, “The Cooker,” is the outfit’s fifth instrumental outing, further forging the group’s unique brand of funk without conforming to any trends, ranging from Parliament-esque ministrations to funk fusion, all with a mighty horn section and retro tinge.
“The bass playing is great!” - Chuck Rainey (Bassist for Aretha Franklin)
“Man, that is some bad sh**. It’s great to hear from a dedicated funkster like yourself. I really love all the textured bass sh**.” - Will Lee (Letterman Show Bassist)
“Stefan [knows] what the funk is about.” - Fred Wesley (Trombonist for James Brown, Parliament and Funkadelic)
“Fantastic grooves, sound and overall conception. It is so good to hear a bassist that has the sensibility of being the foundation of the music.” - Marc Egan (Pat Metheny Band Bassist)
