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.

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!

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.
