Funktionality

By Rob Hochschild | February 3, 2014
A key reason that Berklee's YouTube channel reached 2 million views last week was a series of videos highlighting student performers. One of them captured an October 2013 performance led by student bassist, vocalist, and songwriter Alissia Benveniste and her band on an original funk tune, "Let It Out," in the Berk Recital Hall. Less than four months since its release, the video—featuring Benveniste at the front and accompanied by a well-choreographed collection of instrumentalists and vocalists—has been viewed about 220,000 times.

Benveniste was born in 1991 in Geneva, Switzerland and grew up in Milan, Italy before moving to Boston at the age of 18 to study at Berklee, after earning a scholarship at the Berklee at Umbria Jazz Clinics. She has performed in a number of high-profile concerts on campus and off.

Inspired by New Orleans this tune features Jim Hunt on tenor saxophone and Mike 'The Oracle' Sturgis on drums. A while ago drummer Stanton Moore sat in with us at the 606 Jazz club and took to this tune like a funky duck to funky water - it was amazing! Check out Stanton with the Funkestra in the video link below.

Legendary trombonist and bandleader Fred Wesley is laying down a big phat juicy trombone solo on this one. After the recording session he said to me "Stefan, you know what the Funk is all about"...nice one...Also, check out the spoken introduction at the end before Mike Sturgis' drum fills. This is no other than Bob James introducing his drummer during a tour in the 80s. Oh yes!

Who doesn't love the Jungle book's King Louis, cleverly using his arms like a skipping rope? This tune based on rhythm changes plays around with some classic big band horn clichés. I liked the idea of a lot of horns and a drums-bass-organ trio.

Who doesn't know a guy who just cannot be on time? And who doesn't know a guy who can come up with the most outrageously strange excuse and get away with it? Don't we love them? This Fusion sounding tune is dedicated to all who know what I'm talking about. Excellent first-take solo of Junauro Landgrebe - a very talented guitarist from San Francisco. This is also one of the very few occasions you will hear me use my thumb on a green (!) Sadowsky 5 string.

This seems to be a lot of people's favourite track. It is also the only track in which I allow myself a couple of bars to do a little "bass thang" with 3 basses and wah-wah pedal. Live, this is a great tune to let rip! Excellent solos of Robert Friedl and Dave Limina.

This tongue-in-cheek tune has a slightly tricky metric modulation and was inspired by the Lounge Lizards, the band around the saxophonist/actor John Lurie. The solo section hints on the New Orleans School of Funk, in particular the Meters and Dr. John. Hopefully the "Boozing Wizards" image comes through in the music!
