The Grammy-nominated Brass Construction played eminently danceable and incredibly tight funk led by writer, arranger, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Randy Muller. Not as specialized as their name implied, they showcased dual trumpets and saxophones, a muscular core rhythm section, and sparkling strings. The Brooklyn band's roots can be traced back to the late '60s. In 1976, three years after they released their first single, they achieved their commercial breakthrough with the locomotive "Movin'," a number one hit on Billboard's soul and disco charts that also crossed into the pop Top 20. Brass Construction, the parent album, went platinum, and the band followed it with two more gold albums, Brass Construction II and Brass Construction III, and seven additional LPs through 1985. As with virtually all other surviving funk groups in the post-disco era, Brass Construction's sound became more polished and electronic, but they remained a funk band through and through.
