Stefan Redtenbacher's Funkestra continues the successful BEAT series with an exciting mix of fresh, high energy jazz funk, inspired by the legendary Funk Brothers, Average White Band and Brecker Brothers.
Redtenbacher’s Funkestra is a GO-TO funk monstrosity that consistently delivers a steady groove guaranteed to MAKE YOU MOVE!” – Michael B ( host of ‘Tonic: The Funky Groove Show’ | KGOU FM, Oklahoma)
“Stefan, you know what the Funk is about.” – Fred Wesley (James Brown, Funkadelic, JB Horns)
“Lean, agile, and breathless in its groove” – Jacob Webb ( KEXP | Seattle, Washington)
“A pure slice of unalloyed, joyful Funk.” – Steve Rubie (606 Club London)
“Funk in its classic form remains alive, and Redtenbacher’s Funkestra’s is a stellar example.” – George Graham (WVIA-FM | Scranton, Pennsylvania)
“Stefan Redtenbacher remains one of the most prominent composers, producers and all-round bass monsters in the UK.” – Nick Wells (iBass Magazine, UK)
“Never less than illuminating.” – Steve Morphew (Blues Review, UK)
“The Funkestra’s trademark is mid-tempo funk with just the right amount of bite, rarely abrasive and never toothless, integrating a variety of retro styles.” – David B. Wilson (Wilson & Alroy’s Record Reviews)
“The phrase ‘world class’ can be overused but the multi million streaming Funkestra consist of players with enviable resumes, whose polymath musical skills extend beyond the jazz-funk/fusion world for which they are most famed.” – Mark Ede | BiGiAM Agency
