The Hang by Funkestra
'The Hang' was recorded live at Masterlink Studio on two days. Each musician contributed original tunes to this session and the result is...fresh and exciting! Dave Limina (piano chair of Berklee College of Music) and Tucker Antell (tenor saxophone) were flying from Boston to join the Funkestra rhythm section - it was funk at first sight. This is a meeting of kindred spirits thoroughly enjoying each other's company and musicality. Without a doubt a Funkestra highlight! With an extended release strategy the album has clocked up 280,000 streams on Spotify with 'Kerria Lacca' on the Spotify editorial playlists 'Instrumental Funk', Wiggles' on 'Jazz Funk' and 'Blood and Whiskey' on 'Jazz UK'.

Austrian-bred bassist and funk fiend Stefan Redtenbacher is an anomaly, anachronism and a defiant demolisher of the pigeon-hole. Currently based in London, Stefan and his band Redtenbacher’s Funkestra deliver “out-and-out spectacular funk” (Snowboy) or, as UK Bass Guitar Magazine put it, “a near perfect slice of jazz-funk from one of Europe’s great players.”
