It’s always an exciting day when I see that gang at Timmion Records deliver something unexpected and funky, yet not surprising giving their history of releasing amazing music. The excitement still remains as it did in the early days of 45 drops which arrived in the post and they continue to be a mainstay in my daily rotations. With this release, we see yet another new name added to the roster of artists with Bronze, Silver & Brass headlining. Even before hearing the lead single, Conrad’s Lesson, we instantly knew what we were in for!
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 showcases 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 and 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.
