Movin – Brass Construction

“Movin” by Brass Construction is one the highlights of Brooklyn Funk, from one of the Illest bands of all time.

As usual, Brass Construction makes excellent use of their Brass resources, which are plentiful, building on top of steady Funk rhythms and basslines.

Their Bboy Battle song “Take It Easy” is also something you should hear immediately.

Some bio background from the Brass Construction website:

Signed in 1975 by internationally known pop artist and music industry veteran Sid Maurer and former Epic Records promotion man Fred Frank, they scored two Billboard Hot 100 entries in 1976 – the most successful being “Movin’,” which hit #14. They had much more success on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, with nine chart entries, including “Movin’,” which hit #1.

Brass Construction has never been a band to fall back on past success…

That’s why during the past years it has claimed its share of gold and platinum albums. Now, there’s Reconstruction the group’s newest project. Ever since Brass Construction achieved international prominence with their platinum and Grammy nominated debut album the group has created one of the most distinctive sounds in contemporary music.
