Beat Funktion

Beat Funktion is a Swedish jazz fusion band. The band's music is a mix of jazz, funk, R&B, disco, soul and afro-beat, fundamentally instrumental but occasionally with vocal guest performers. The band has released seven albums, six of which have received international acclaim outside of the band's native Sweden and high list placements on radio charts in the United States and Canada. The group's third album Voodooland was licensed to Japanese label P-Vine and also hit #1 on the American CMJ Jazz Charts for three consecutive weeks, becoming the ninth most played jazz album on those charts in 2014.   This evening will be the release of their new album Skyward. Put on your dancing shoes and bring a towel because we guarantee you won't be able to sit still!   Karl Olandersson, trumpet Olle Thunström, tenor saxophone Johan Öijen, electric guitar Daniel Lantz, keyboards Pal Johnson, electric bass Jon Eriksson, drums Ola Bothzén, percussion
