‘The Cooker’ offers Stefan Redtenbacher’s own take on the classic Jazz Funk genre, all masterfully propelled forward by the Funkestra core ensemble fortified with two muscular horn sections, one from the UK and one from the US.
Their burning grooves are mixed in with catchy themes and spiced up with fiery solos, creating a well funky stew.
Special guests include Lenny Pickett (Tower of Power, Saturday Night Live), Eric Krasno (Soulive) and Michael B. Nelson’s Hornheads (Prince).

The Cooker

"Performed by Redtenbacher’s Funkestra, the official soundtrack has been moulded around some memorable quotes and exchanges from the film. Michael Manring contributes with a brand-new composition written in memory of Jaco Pastorius. It also draws on some deeply embedded ingredients from the Funkestra’s back catalogue."(Nick Wells)

Check out this laid back, New Orleans inspired original tune with killer solos by trombonist Michael B. Nelson and tenor sax player Jim Hunt.

The Oracle

I wrote 'Tricknologists' after I red Dr. John's autobiography 'Under a Hoodoo Moon' - hence I dedicated the track to him. Check out the insanely great soprano sax solo by Jim Hunt. What you hear is the first take - no rehearsal, no chart, no instructions - Jazz improvisation at its pure best! Also listen out for the musky B3 Hammond organ playing by master Dave Limina.

This is another New Orleans Funk inspired track featuring Dave Limina on Hammond B3 and Mike Sturgis on drums. The spirit of the Meters, Professor Longhair, the Neville Brothers, Smokey Johnson and Dr. John is hopefully coming through in this tune. I always really dug the hand claps during the drum solo. The sound reminds me of 'Unsquare Dance' by Dave Brubeck.

Galactisch

Bassist, producer & funk fiend | anomaly | anachronism | defiant demolisher of the pigeon-hole.

“The Funkestra has got that ‘what is hip’ attitude...more deep grooves than a 78 rpm record,” enthuses George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly.

On Dr Hypenstein, Redtenbacher's Funkestra brings their danceable brand of funk, laying down 13 of their funkiest grooves yet, from the fluty can't-stop-your-feet sounds of the title track to the heavy crunch of "Swagger," then letting the atomic dogs out with "Cave Canem" and the percolating "Funktionality."

London-based bassist, composer, arranger and bandleader Stefan Redtenbacher is the mastermind behind Dr Hypenstein, which includes the bass-driven "Bass Face" and "Bassbulator," the dare-you-not-to-move "Right On It" and "Supergalactic," and expands on previous material to incorporate electronic sounds in all the while standing proud with the history of funk.

This is the eighth album from Redtenbacher's Funkestra, which regularly performs at (and packs) London's legendary 606 Club and other established London venues. Guest musicians have included Fred Wesley, Alfred "Pee Wee" Ellis, "Doc" Kupka, Lee Thornburg and Lenny Pickett from Tower of Power, Eric Krasno of Soulive, Stanton Moore of Galactic and the horn sections from Prince, Incognito and The Brand New Heavies.

The Austrian-born Redtenbacher fell for Herbie Hancock and Maceo Parker early on, then studied at the Vienna Conservatory and Boston's Berklee College of Music, and has recorded and performed with legends including Steve Winwood, Jack Bruce, Amy Winehouse, Lulu, Mica Paris, and Herb Alpert.

"Stefan, you know what the funk is about!” (Fred Wesley of the JB’s)
