The Bigband Stintfunk exists for more than 30 years in Hamburg. It is the oldest continuously working bigband in Hamburg, which plays modern Jazz music.
The name of the band refers to the location, where rehearsals took place for years: the Youth hostel Stintfang.
"Stintfunk" is a union of 18 musicians, which consists of amateurs and professionals. The group plays in the traditional bigband formation of 5 trumpets, 4 trombones, 5 saxophones and a rhythm section consisting of piano, guitar, bass and drums. Its repertoire offers a mixture of modern bigband music, that means: neither a warming-up of evergreens of the swing era, nor modernistic experiments. Consequently, the "Stintfunk" program contains arrangements of Don Menza, Thad Jones, Bill Holman, and of course various authors for the Count Basie Bigband. Additionally, we play our own arrangements, and last but not least pieces of Peter Herbolzheimers' that are very rhythm oriented, sometimes rock-like, but it is always swinging music.
P.S. This music is recommended for people who are interested in experiencing the growth process in person. The music of "Stintfunk" is headed in the direction of togetherness. It is only background music for audiences of over 6 billion human beings.
