The Colman Brothers return, inspired once more by Dizzy Gillespie and the
Herbolzheimer Rhythm Combination & Brass. ‘Another Brother’ is a continuation of
the ‘El Niño’ sound with the muted trumpet leading the way in amongst the big horn
backing and Latin rhythms. Ruth Hammond features here once again with her soulful
Rhodes playing, all backed up by some heavy beats from drummer Scott Hammond.
The Remix was inspired by the soundtrack sounds of Lalo Schifrin, Roy Budd and Bill
Conti.
Possibly their finest work since their first release, the feisty “Another Brother”
is sure to set dance floors alight this autumn, has already received Radio 1 play from
Gilles Peterson, and heralds the brothers’ debut long player, arriving on Wah Wah 45s
early 2011!

“Another fantastic track! Love the big band original – cannot wait for the album.” DJ Adrian Gibson (Freestyle)
“You know I love that track. Pure class, a dance floor. Fits perfectly between balkan drum and bass and Argentinean 8-bit.” Russ Jones (Hackney Globetrotter)
“Words cannot describe how much I like this!! If only more people sounded like The Colman Brothers the world would be a much better place! This goes straight on the show on Saturday!

“Great tunes. Like the remix most.” Snorre Seim (Butti 49, Norway)
“Well it certainly doesn’t disappoint. I was strongly leaning towards side A instinctively to start with but I’m starting to feel the b-side now! That’s a really tasty orchestral groove. Sounds like Portishead on amphetamines. Really edgy and definitely a little foreboding. (I absolutely refuse to use the word cinematic!) Can’t wait to hear that loud! Going back to Side A though I absolutely love the horns on this. Vaery very nice production all round really. At this rate these guys will soon be challenging The Five Corners Quintet for the modern heavyweight jazz belt.” DJ Griff (Jelly Jazz)

“Wicked, wicked jazz dance. I love it, very fresh bro!” Jazzamar (Jazzmin Records, France)
“Once again the Colman brothers gives us a stunning recording, I just wish the remix version was 8 minutes, couldn’t get enough! That’s the beauty with the Wah Wah releases in order to maintain good quality.” DJ Georgios Paroglou (Greece)
“Outstanding song !!! 5 stars !!!” Markus (Further In Fusion).
