Biography

While most sax players have followed in the footsteps of jazz legends like Charlie Parker and John Coltrane, Maceo Parker has consistently marched to a different tune. Since his earliest days, he has gravitated to the more rhythmic and soulful end of the spectrum, following figures like Louis Jordan, Ray Charles and James Brown – all of whom were innovators, each pushing their respective ...

Product Description

Product Description

Maceo Parker, the saxophonist who, as a high-profile sideman to the legendary James Brown, pioneered the sounds of funk and soul, is reunited with the WDR Big Band for a collection of soul classics embracing not only that seminal funk sound but also jazz, R&B and more.

The 2011 live recording captures Parker and his own small combo - bassist Christian McBride and drummer Cora Coleman-Dunham (Prince , Beyonce) - in collaboration with the Cologne-based 15-piece orchestra led by conductor/arranger Michael Abene.

Since his time as a sideman to James Brown in the 1960s, Parker has collaborated with other high profile figures like George Clinton and Bootsy Collins. At the same time he has established a highly successful solo career, releasing a string of solo recordings that have proved his merits as a composer and bandleader.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW THIS TRULY IS A SOUL CLASSIC. 25 Sep 2012
By pete clack TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
Maceo Parker former sax man with James Brown,plays as part of Prince's incredible band and he he is doing a live set with his own hotly funky trio plus a big band.Recorded in 2011for WDR in Cologne,Germany.This is a top rate release by a master musician, his trio that features Christian McBride on bass and Cora Coleman on drums plus as I say this quite wonderful big band.Soul classics here include 'Papa's got a brand new bag',Higher Ground','Rock Steady', and 'Soul Power'. A simply stunning version of Stevie Wonders 'I Wish' is worth the price of the album alone. In all nine great tracks by a funk and soul legend, not to be missed at any price if you like the sounds of Prince or James Brown, and surely one of the finest releases of the year,beautifully recorded and ready for the party to begin.Just roll up the carpet, and dance.This is a man a band and an album full of good things, so not one to miss.Good five star stuff this.Being live as well gives it that something extra the studio doesn't give this type of music, during the playing you also don't get any audience disruption thay save it to the end. So say no more just get that boogie feeling and dance.
