		In a recent session someone asks Maceo "How do you get to be a legend?" and in his typical down-to-earth manner he replies with a laugh, "well first you have to live a long time!"...
		Maceo's groove comes to you direct and unadorned, just the sheer joy of "happy music" as he likes best to describe funky music.
		In Maceo's case the music speaks for itself, it's Maceo Parker's style, not his celebrity connections that have made his name.

		DIAL M.A.C.E.O. Released within a week of each other back in November, Ani DiFranco's To the Teeth and Prince's Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic not only had each artist guesting on the other's album but also included cameos by the legendary saxophonist Maceo Parker.
		Prince wasn't able to join Parker in the studio, but he did provide master tapes for the Rave numbers "Greatest Romance Ever Sold" and the bonus track "Baby Knows." Parker then instrumentalized them himself by replacing all the lead vocals with saxophone, leaving only the chorus vocals intact.
		Still, there are more vocals here than on a typical Maceo Parker disc, with Parker tackling some of the singing himself and his son, Corey Parker, lending a hip-hop rap vibe on a couple of tunes.

		Maceo's power isn't just in his instrumental explosiveness, or his ability as a bandleader, producer, or arranger; but rather it appears as respect and dignity bestowed on his band, his fans, and the FUNK.
		Maceo may have had his differences with James over the years, but he put it all aside and assembled a band of former JB's to record the EP "Let Him Out" and draw public support for James' release.
		Maceo is definitely the "star" but doesn't have "Star-syndrome" rather sharing the spotlight, and allowing each band member a chance to shine within a coherent hole that's as tight as any band James put together.

		It was on the Musicology Tour that Prince dubbed Parker “The Teacher.” On stage his saxophone was a featured instrument in the show, and Prince even gave up center stage to allow Parker to pay tribute to one of his idols, the late Ray Charles.
		Parker had the honor of opening for the RandB legend on a three-week European tour several years ago and has fond memories of the experience.
		Parker also counts himself fortunate that he has fans of all ages, races and economic backgrounds all around the world.

	Maceo Parker--Funk Overload (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Brown's grunting exclamation, "Blow Maceo," probably did more to shift his name into headline status than any of his hot honking, but as a solo artist, Parker, who switched to alto sax in the '70s, has hung in the jazz world, and only occasionally released the full funk explosion disc he's capable of.
		Judging by the title, it seems Maceo is back in the groove on his latest outing, his first entirely funk release in recent memory.
		Sadly, Maceo's raps, and those of his son, only prove that Parker is most successful doing what he's always done: blowing the damn house down in a funk-fueled storm, with his horn in the epicenter.

		Maceo told his guests that “Everything we do from now on, is going to be funky,” and the Parker anthem roused the crowd even more as he broke into the song, “Rabbits In The Pea Patch,” a hit from his latest CD, Dial Maceo.

	Maceo Parker at Mahaiwe Theatre (Aug. 17) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		With the help of his bandmates, Parker occasionally set up a riff by chanting a rural Black American folk rhyme, like “Rabbits in the pea patch, catch him, catch him,” and then the 10-piece band would launch into a full-throttle funk groove based on the rhythms of the simple child’s rhyme.
		Parker would play a riff or a figure or a phrase a few times, and then be joined in unison by the horn players, in classic r&b style.
		Parker played some particularly stunning solos, full of syncopation, off-beats and repeated half-tones that milked their potential of tension and release for all they were worth.

		While Maceo's track record speaks for itself, -years of playing with James Brown and George Clinton, creating and re-creating the funky sounds for generation after generation, Maceo's solo career has gone from strength to strength in the last ten years.
		With brand new songs, in some cases written specially for the artist concerned, to a few covers, Maceo's latest is a blend of funky, tight soaring horns, underpinned throughout by his touring band which is as tight as a piece of gum stuck to your shoe.
		Maceo gives a fresh look at of his music without ever straying from the core we all love.

		It perhaps speaks to Parker’s crossover appeal in particular, and the attraction of his mainstream funk and r&b in general.
		Still, Parker is aware that younger fans are flocking to his shows, alongside like-minded, funk-jazz fusionists such as Medeski Martin and Wood, in numbers too great to ignore.
		Parker said his style was influenced by Ray Charles, as well as other saxophonists including Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, King Curtis and Stanley Turrentine.

		RC: This is Maceo's New Orleans album, with a funky meeting of the minds with some of the Big Easy's most influential musicians.
		The idea of Maceo working with N.O. greats like the Meters (or at least Leo Nocentelli and George Porter) and the mighty Rebirth Brass Band is a brilliant one, and the results are pure fun.
		On both tunes, Maceo's blowing is extra funky, but restrained at the same time.
