Bronze, Silver & Brass – Conrad’s Lesson (7″) [Timmion TR761]

Timmion Records introduces a new instrumental group, Bronze, Silver & Brass, an eight-piece brass ensemble that is about to make waves with their debut 7” vinyl single “Conrad’s Lesson” b/w “Ward to Ward”. This banger of a release blesses you with two spectacular tunes that showcase the group’s influences from soulful stage band music to NOLA street funk.

On the A-side, “Conrad’s Lesson” delivers a pulsing midtempo groove, driven by funky drums adorned with beautifully mellow horn melodies. Meanwhile, the B-side gem, “Ward to Ward” offers upbeat New Orleans second-line funk, exuding the spirit of celebration and joy through syncopated beats and spirited horn arrangements. Inspired by the soulful sounds of Kashmere Stage Band, Curtis Mayfield – and of course contemporary trailblazers such as Young Blood Brass Band and Hot 8 Brass Band – Bronze, Silver & Brass boldly blend a gumbo that that oozes musical love without excuses.

With this debut single, they invite listeners to celebrate the rich heritage of brass music while keeping things severely funky. Get ready and march to the infectious rhythms of Bronze, Silver & Brass.
