Led by singer and keyboards player Randy Muller (b. Guyana), Brass Construction was a leading group in the disco movement of the 70s. Muller originally formed the band in Brooklyn, New York, as Dynamic Soul, mixing funk, salsa and reggae rhythms with a more orthodox jazz line-up to create a highly danceable sound. Renamed Brass Construction, the nine-piece group was signed by United Artists in 1975. The members included Michael Grudge (b. Jamaica) and Jesse Ward Jnr. (saxophones), Wayne Parris (b. Jamaica) and Morris Price (trumpets), Joseph Arthur Wong (b. Trinidad; guitar), Wade Williamson (bass), Larry Payton (drums) and percussionist Sandy Billups. With infectious polyrhythms and minimal, chanted vocals, the group's first release, "Movin'", topped the R&B charts and was a number 14 US pop hit in April 1976. It was followed by "Changin'", "Ha Cha Cha (Funktion)" and "L-O-V-E-U", which were all bestsellers. Later singles were less successful, although successive Brass Construction albums rode the disco boom. Muller also wrote for and produced New York disco group Skyy and B.T. Express. The group's popularity dwindled in the 80s, although the remix craze brought numerous versions of their early hits into the clubs in 1988, including "Ha Cha Cha (Acieed Mix)".
