SHE WHO DARES FEEDBACK SO FAR.........
SHE WHO DARES - a horny delight, sounding right next to CBBB. Ennio Styles / Straightup.com/au Radio
Bridging the divide between the classic big band jazz of MPS and CBS and the more modern Latin jazz runnings of Schema and Rikky Tick, brothers Mat and Andrew Colman (winner of the Jazz Musician of the Year no less) bring a touch of class to the proceedings with this shuffling dancefloor swinger SHE WHO DARES. If you remember their last single EL NINO you’ll know that these won’t stick around for long, so chop, chop. 4/5 DJ Mag
Very Nice. Simon Harrison / Basic Soul Show
Two more cheeky barnstormers from the Colman Brothers guaranteed to give you the horn! Perry Hemus / Woodland Records
Two great musicians. Jacqui Dankworth / The Jazz
Fat on both sides, already a big one on Planeta Jazz! DJ Tiago Santos / www.oxigenio.fm
Killer new release from Wah Wah 45s in London. The Colman Brothers' second single is a brilliant piece of bossa tinged big band jazz, which nods heavily to the Francy Boland and Kenny Clarke albums of the early 70s. Seriously good stuff, make sure you check it! / Fat City Records
More quality gear from the WAH WAH label in the shape of this new 7" single from THE COLMAN BROTHERS. The boys follow up their EL NINO winner with SHE WHO DARES a floor-working jazz-funker that comes in 2 mixes, the original mix, and a more laidback Lounge Mix. One for the headz for sure! RETRO / Groovedis.com
Here's a tune that would make the Clarke Boland Big Band proud -- a sweet jazzy groover that sounds just like something off their classic Latin Kaleidoscope album for MPS! The main side is all jazzy and big band-- horn flourishes gliding beautifully over snapping rhythms that get a bit more beat-heavy on the lounge mix. / Dusty Groove
Trombone and Trumpet duo the Colman Brothers follow up their excellent EL NINO with another surefire dancefloor cracker in the shape of SHE WHO DARES, a bossa-jazz groover. With influencesranging from Peter Herbolzheimer, Francy Bolland and Kenny Clark, this is another horn fuelled joint that'll please both club and jazz heads alike. On the flip things get a bit more slinky with a lounge version of the same track - one for a late night bar session. / Picadilly Records Manchester
Wicked band! / Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show
Colman brothers are back with this true gem of a record. The big band bossa magic on the a-side will keep feet tappin' and hips swingin' all through the holiday season and well into 2008. The slightly moodier mix on the b-side is fine as well. Johan Edlund / Supasoul, Sweden
Colman Brothers, all killa, no filla!! wahwah support EAST guaranteed! Tom Weiland (Panoptikum/Seven Samurai) Vienna
