Crescent City (bass playalong)

from Big Funk Band (bass playalong) by Redtenbacher's Funkestra

/

about

‘Crescent City’ is inspired by the music of New Orleans (the ‘Crescent City’), widely regarded as the birthplace of Jazz forged out of the melting pot of cultures.

This original and instrumental composition by Stefan Redtenbacher draws from Funk, Big Band Jazz and Afrobeat.

The odd meter tune features well-known German drum virtuouso Benny Greb with an exquisite groove and explosive drum solo as well as high-octave tenor saxophonist Tucker Antell from Boston.

In the spirit of the melting pot culture of New New Orleans the rest of the band are a mixture of musicians from Austria, Cuba, Germany, Ghana, the USA, United Kingdom and Venezuela.

Redtenbacher’s Funkestra are probably best known for being a wall-to-wall Jazz funk horn band and this tune certainly does their reputation justice.

The single cover showing a ‘calavera’ is inspired by the ‘Día de los Muertos’ which in New Orleans takes on a Carnival-esque theme that makes it feel like a second Mardi Gras, the world famous ‘Fat Tuesday’ carnival.
