    Looking for brassy big-city disco

    ...that reminds us of this New York City big band sound (like in Sinatra's New York, New York). One disco track I know of that fits this description is David Shire's Manhattan Skyline.

    Rides in Cadillac cars, fast lifts up to executive suites, suits by Ralph Lauren. This is still a popular sound in Europe, we call it Powerdisco.

    You might pursue drama and action TV show themes from the time -

    DALLAS for example is both big (ish) city and brassy:

    Holy mackrel! How could THIS song not be the first to come to everyone's mind!





    Which, I remember reading somewhere, was based directly on Sinatra's "New York, New York" song (as inspiration, or a tribute).
