Jazz-rock band
Concept: suite-like jazz-rock with brilliant solo passages
combined with electronic styles of the 90s in form of live interpreted ambient
and jungle grooves.
Their legendary live album was
recorded in the Viennese jazz club "Porgy & Bess" in 1997. The 14
works of Mair, Lang and Sarne were developed between 1986 and 1996. Since founded
in 1989 Manfred Sarne, Stefan Wessel, Alexander Lackner (b) und Richard Halbemmer
(dr) also belong to the ensemble. Guest musicians: Lorenz Raab (tp), Martin Fuss,
Jürgen Jagfeld (sax).
(Newspaper) AZ, 15 June 1991, Popodrom final (1st
prize audience, 2nd prize jury): "The fourth and by far the most interesting
finalist comes from a totally different world: the "Funkmothers" play
their instrumental funk-jazz mixture, interlarded with witty breaks, with rousing
dynamics and, in their young unspoiled way, with unbelievable precision."
