Bringing you Brass Vibes into the spotlight. Good evening! I’m Gail Nobles on the Cat Bear. Before I get started, I want to say Brass Construction is definitely on the block. Fitzroy’s Soul Survivors Magazine also features Brass Construction this month, giving us another reason to celebrate the band’s place in music history. Make sure you visit the current issue at thesoulsurvivorsmagazine.co.uk. This is Gail Nobles, sharing a little music, a little history, and a whole lot of soul on Cat Bear! Brass Construction was an American funk group formed in Brooklyn, New York, United States, in 1969. The true formation year that’s when they truly became an active band on the scene. They were originally known as Dynamic Soul, and went on to record a string of hit singles and albums through 1985. They scored two US Billboard Hot 100 entries in 1976, the most successful being “Movin’,” which hit No. 14. What happened to the bands like Brass Construction? What happened to the real voices? They are a band you can really learn from to play music. The old-school cats are your teachers. Hear me out today on the Cat Bear. They really knew how to play the instruments and put the music together. I have said this before. It wasn’t all about a drum machine. They played real bass and drums. I love the trumpets, trombones, and saxophones that I hear. I miss hearing that kind of music today. Thank you for listening to the Cat Bear. Music commentary news.
