Maceo Parker

Ebony,  March, 2008  

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

"Maceo, I want you to blow!" was the mighty holler from the Godfather of Soul that beckoned Maceo to lead JB's band with the famous sax solo found on the generation-less classic, 'I Got You (I Feel Good)." Also known for playing with big cats such as George Clinton and Prince, Maceo follows up on 50 years of bringin' the funk with his second solo album, Roots & Grooves (Heads Up), a tribute to the innovator of soul Ray Charles. Maceo's two-disc masterpiece with the WDR Big Band is a collection of the late genius' prize pieces, such as "Georgia" and "Hit The Road Jack." No holdin' up the wall here ... and try not to snap your neck when nodding to this one.
