All London's live music

Following the success of last year’s 30-year anniversary Funkopia tour, this limited-run UK run launches the forthcoming collaborative album from Stefan Redtenbacher and Carter Arrington, pairing new material with selected Funkestra highlights. Expect a high-impact set of fervent guitar playing, tight ensemble interplay and exhilarating fusion throughout.

The London based, multi-national, Redtenbacher’s Funkestra is the brainchild of bassist, composer and producer Stefan Redtenbacher. This original and mostly instrumental wall-to-wall jazz funk collective of world class players has about 20 releases to their name - notably ‘The Hang’ which reached number one in the weekly top 50 Funk album chart according to the Roots Music Report.

They have recorded with a 'who's who' of the international jazz funk and fusion scene including legends like Fred Wesley, Alfred ‘Pee Wee’ Ellis from James Brown’s band, Stephen ‘Doc’ Kupka, Lee Thornburg and Lenny Pickett from Tower of Power, Prince’s New Power Generation horn section (aka ‘The Hornheads’) and horn players from Incognito, Brand New Heavies and, many many more.
