Funk Trek
Funk Trek is a funk/jazz fusion band formed in 2008 in Omaha, Nebraska by cousins Tom Murnan and Dan Pflug, with guitarist and friend Andrew Wahl. Funk Trek has released three studio albums, the most recent being "Quencher" released on July 10, 2015.
==''Voyager'' (2010)==
For the first year, the band's name "Funk Trek Voyager", until late 2009 when "Voyager" was dropped and the band became known more famously around the Omaha indie music scene as "Funk Trek". It wasn't long afterwards that the creation of Funk Trek's first album, ''Voyager'', was underway. The title was a tribute to the second half of their original name, using it as the album name as a memorial of their origins as Funk Trek Voyager, including some songs written early on in their career while Funk Trek Voyager was still active.
The recording sessions for ''Voyager'' took place in bassist Tom Murnan's basement and it was completed using Murnan's and rhythm guitarist Jared Dietz's knowledge of mixing and mastering. Dietz is also credited as Engineer of the album. The recording was done in a multitrack fashion, recording all instruments separately and blending them together for the final product. "Genetically Modified Groove" and "Black Mamba" proved to be the singles off of the album and are frequently played at Funk Trek shows. In an interview with UNO's classical radio station KVNO, trumpeter Alain Hernandez described the inspirations for the album: "The music is influenced by jazz with a big funk influence too. What I like about this album is that every song sounds different. We have some hard core, hip–hop sounds, with no vocals just instrumental."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Funk Trek releases first album )〕
The album art was a drawing by a friend of the band's by the name of Justin Valentine. According to bassist Tom Murnan, the bright colors were used to illustrate the brilliance and atmosphere of the band's live shows, with a face drawn near the top to depict the euphoria one feels upon listening to Funk Trek's music. The CD was released to the public on December 10, 2010 at the Waiting Room Lounge in Omaha, Nebraska. Only 300 copies of the CD were made, making the album rare to date. However, the tracks can be played on funktrek.com, the band's official website.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=official Funk Trek website )〕
