OUT NOW! ‘Hi Länder’ collab between the Funkestra and Austrian saxophonist and long-term friend Andreas See. What a banger of an instrumental Jazz Funk tune:
- Doug Harper on drums took the instruction ‘GO APE!’ really well - Fergus Gerrand on percussion used at least 5% of his 1000+ percussion instruments with grace and taste, including Unison Glockenspiel (he has some fast hands for sure!) - Dave Limina playing those lush chords and 'expensive' voicings both on Hammond and Rhodes. - Carter Thomas Arrington didn’t only play an ueber jam funk guitar part he also laid down a tasteful yet powerful guitar solo. - The bass - well someone had to play it - what was I thinking at this speed? - And last but not very least, apart from co-writing this track with Andi he plays a cracker of a tenor sax solo and does what he does best - paints a melodic landscape with plenty of excitement and grit. No mean feat! We hope you’ll like this one - we are super-proud and excited about it. We love the ‘near falling over’ feeling when listening to it!
