Description: This is beautiful tune written by Bill Evans, recorded in 2008 with the fab Giorgio Serci

Crowbar’ is a collaboration between Redtenbacher’s Funkestra, Horn House and the Masterlink Sessions. This is the penultimate digital single before the album FUNKOPIA lands on Oct 3.

A muscular New Orleans–inspired groove with burning solos and tasty funk riffs. Pure energy and groove with Carter Arrington’s raucous guitar solo, Ross Stanley’s Hammond fire, and plenty of Horn House oompf.

Originally titled ‘Jive Detector’ (a phrase from Dr John’s biography Under a Hoodoo Moon), the tune briefly travelled via ‘Major Arcana’ before James Welch at Masterlink Productions nicknamed it ‘Crowbar’ – and the name stuck.

Joni Reimagined Quartet interview - PART ONE

Joni Reimagined Quartet interview - PART TWO

37 years ago Fairground Attraction released their hugely successful, melodic and charming ‘Perfect’. The poppy sing-along qualities of this song have endured through the decades. Its appeal has lead to another collaboration between Australian songstress Georgia Van Etten and Stefan Redtenbacher, bassist and producer of the Masterlink Sessions. This is their fifth collab and the music oozes light-hearted and romantic fun from both the band and the effortless vocal performance by Georgia.
