A special edition of 'RHYTHM & NEWS' on Crackers Radio with special guest RANDY MULLER!! To many of us funk fans, especially those, like me, who grew up in the 70's, buying and definitely dancing our asses off to those hot, sweaty, funky grooves, one band exploded in 1975 and changed the game! They were called Brass Construction and their leader was a smooth, cool kid coming out of Brooklyn (of Guyanese descent - at least we had that in common!) He not only played several instruments, he also wrote the majority of their material, including the classics, 'Movin' and 'Changin'
For that band alone, we would be singing and praising his name to this day. In front of certain audiences, those classic grooves still bring the house down. However, before BC blasted on the scene, if you were into the sounds of B.T. Express, then chances are you were loving the contributions of Mr Muller. Apart from being a musician, and a songwriter, and a producer, Randy Muller was a top notch arranger, adding those strings to a great many records from several artists, including the band he put together, Skyy.
His career is full to the brim with quality music and he is still doing his thing. It was an absolute joy to finally have Randy sit down with me and have a radio interview. Over here in the UK to do a little pre-promotion for his next album (due out early next year), we got the opportunity to talk one on one and for me it did not disappoint. All I will say say is, if you think you know all the man has done, think again and check this out! Ok, how does it go again?!! ONE TWO, HA CHA CHA!! TWO, TWO, HA CHA CHA......

Randy Muller's jazz flavoured album FROM 2007, 'Groovin' U' - Randy Muller Boom Chang Bang
Seen by many as the 'unofficial' 2nd album from Brass Construction. Released in 1976, 'Ain't Nothin' But A Party' by Mark Radice was produced by Jeff Lane (BC's producer) and for intent and purposes it felt and sounded like a Brass Construction album. The band were not only the musicians, but were photographed with Radice on the back cover of the album.
