Format:Audio CD
Containing some of Maceo's strongest material in a long time, this new release covers a variety of styles from the slow ballad style of "Song For My Teacher" through the funky hip-hop rap of "What You Know About Funk?" to the straight-ahead JB-style of "Basic Funk: 101" and the "Hot Pants"-styled "Advanced Funk", taking along the Latin-flavoured "Arts & Crafts" - a personal highlight for me - and a mid-tempo vocal/sax duet with Candy Dulfer of "Lily Was Here" fame. Parker's soloing ability is such that even the most mediocre of source material is transformed into something approaching greatness.
Throughout the album Maceo (a mainstay of the James Brown band on many of his greatest records including the ground-breaking "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" and "Cold Sweat") and his colleagues Morris Hayes (keyboards), Ron Harris (trumpet) and Greg Boyer (trombone/horn arrangements) demonstrate an effortless mastery of the funk form, combining to create an irresistible groove that grabs from the start and won't let go.
Forget what you've heard about jazz-funk and fusion - this is the genuine article. Five out of five.
