about

'The Golden Switchback' is the 1960s themed album that Stefan always wanted to write. Inspired by classic film music recordings by Lalo Schifrin, Quincy Jones and John Barry.

If Stefan's go-to recording studio would be big enough he would have recorded the trusty Funkestra rhythm section A listers with the 9 piece horn section at the same time. As it were, it was recorded in two sessions - one with the rhythm section and one with the piece horn section (3 trumpets, 3 saxes and 3 trombones). And it's all worth it - the Masterlink Studio has that Muscle Shoals 'magic' that Stefan loves so much.

Stefan would love (read L-O-V-E) to perform this music with this 20 piece orchestra on a stage or festival near you!

about

Redtenbacher's Funkestra image

Redtenbacher's Funkestra London, 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.” ... more
