Review by Rick Costa

Golden Brass by Rolf-Hans Müller: A Retro Groove Worth Dusting Off If you’re into smooth grooves with a side of Latin flair, Golden Brass by Rolf-Hans Müller is one of those hidden gems that feels like finding an old vinyl at a flea market. Released in 1972 outta Germany, this album blends jazz, funk, soul, and Latin vibes so effortlessly that it’s hard not to nod your head or tap your feet. The man himself leads his orchestra—Das Orchester Rolf-Hans Müller—with the kind of swagger only '70s musicians seemed to have. The genres here are all over the place but in the best way possible. You’ve got some jazz-funk, soul-jazz, bossa nova, samba, and even a sprinkle of easy listening. It’s like someone threw a party where Miles Davis, Sergio Mendes, and James Brown were all invited, and they decided to jam together. Now, let me tell ya about two tracks that stuck with me. First up, “Ticket To Rio.” Man, this one just screams vacation vibes. From the opening notes, you can almost feel the sun on your face and hear the waves crashing. The brass section pops off like fireworks, while the rhythm has this infectious bounce that makes you wanna grab a cocktail and hit the dance floor—or at least shuffle around your living room. I swear, every time this track comes on, I’m halfway to Rio in my mind. Then there’s “Viva La Samba,” which is exactly what it sounds like—a full-on samba celebration. This tune is pure joy bottled up in four minutes. The percussion drives everything forward, and the horns add these bold, punchy accents that make you wanna shout "Olé!" (or whatever the German equivalent might be). There’s something about the energy here—it’s chaotic in the best way, like a street parade you didn’t know you needed to join. Other standouts include “Double Diamond” for its slick groove and “Chicken Party,” because who wouldn’t want to boogie down to a song with a name like that? Even the mellower tracks like “Sunday Girl” bring a cozy vibe that fits perfectly between the high-energy bangers. What strikes me most about Golden Brass is how timeless it feels. Sure, it came out in the ‘70s, but the mix of styles keeps it fresh. Listening to it today is like stepping into a time machine that somehow lands in both the past and the future. And honestly, isn’t that what great music’s supposed to do? So if you’re looking to spice up your playlist with something funky yet classy, give Golden Brass a spin. Just don’t blame me if you start daydreaming about sipping caipirinhas under a Brazilian sunset—or organizing an impromptu kitchen samba session. Oh, and fun fact: I bet no one told you chickens could throw parties before hearing this album. Yup, life-changing stuff right there.

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know? In 1972, German composer Rolf-Hans Müller released an album called *Golden Brass*. It’s a wild mix of Latin, Jazz, and Funk/Soul vibes. Tracks like "Ticket To Rio" and "Viva La Samba" bring that Bossa Nova and Samba flavor, while others lean into smooth Soul-Jazz and Easy Listening. The whole thing was performed by his orchestra, Das Orchester Rolf-Hans Müller. Not bad for a guy from Germany, huh?
