This tune is my personal 'mash up' of Weather Report and Miles Davis of the 'Bitches Brew' days. The slow section is my Zawinul impression and the fast section is my 'Bitches Brew' impression. Super talented tenor saxophonist Gilad Atzmon and equally super talented keys player Steve Hamilton are both ripping it up. I think my back still hurts from having carried Steve's Rhodes up to the second floor to my studio:-)

Performers:

Thomas Feurer - flute
Gilad Atzmon - saxophone (Tenor)
Nichol Thomson - trombone
Steve Hamilton - keys (Fender Rhodes)
Mike Sturgis - drums
Bosco De Oliveria - percussion
Koby Israelite - water cymbals
Stefan Redtenbacher - bass, programming, additional keys

Deep: The Baritone Sessions, Vol. 2

Voyager One (feat. Nate Smith & Bobby Sparks II)

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)
