About

Maceo Parker: his name is synonymous with funky music, his pedigree impeccable; his band: the tightest funk orchestra on earth.

Everyone knows by now that he’s played with each and every leader of funk, his start with James Brown, which Maceo describes as ‘like being at university’; jumping aboard the Mothership with George Clinton; stretching out with Bootsy Collin’s Rubber Band. He’s the living, breathing pulse that connects the history of funk in one golden thread.
For the past sixteen years Maceo has been building a new funk empire, fresh and stylistically diverse. He navigates deftly between James Brown’s 1960’s soul and George Clinton’s 1970’s freaky funk while exploring the grooves of hip-hop.

His collaborations over the years performing or recording, or both, have included Ray Charles, Ani Difranco, James Taylor, De La Soul, Dave Matthews Band and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. His timeless sound has garnered him a fresh young fan base.

Maceo Parker is the original funk titan. His body of work is as important to the genre as those belonging to James Brown, George Clinton and Bootsy Collins. On a broader level, Parker must be regarded as simply one of the all-time great saxophonists. He stretched the boundaries, fashioned a new style of playing and, most importantly, made some truly great music.
