About Maceo Parker
A true sultan of funk, the legendary Maceo Parker spent two decades as the right-hand man of James Brown, blowing righteous sax in an electrifying way that could shift from melodic to percussive with awesome effect. Also long associated with the inimitable funk gods George Clinton and Bootsy Collins and various incarnations of Parliament-Funkadelic, Parker eventually forged his own solo career. It was his third CD, 1992�s Life on Planet Groove, a take-no-prisoners live album that set a new standard for soulful funk. Recent collaborations with Germany�s WDR Big Band have shown that Parker is still relevant � and just as awesome as ever. There will only ever be one Godfather of Soul, but even James Brown would agree that it�s now the hard-blowing Parker who is arguably the hardest-working man in show business which is proven on his 2012 album Soul Classics. Over the last decade whenever Maceo Parker has played in Victoria, he has sold out! So don�t miss out! http://maceoparker.com/
