Based in London and headed up by Austrian bassist, composer and bandleader Stefan Redtenbacher, jazz-funk combo Redtenbacher's Funkestra have 10 albums under their belt and have worked with the likes of Incognito, Fred Wesley, Pee Wee Ellis and assorted members of the New Power Generation. Across the 10 tracks on this latest long-player, they range from sumptuous disco ('Around & Around') and raw Meters/O'Jays-like funk ('Dallas Clan') to 90s-style acid jazz/street soul ('Dance & Shout'), with the string section, unsurprisingly, much in evidence throughout. There's not much going on that's especially groundbreaking, admittedly, but the musicianship on display is impeccable...
