#MaceoParker & WDR Big Band Cologne - A Tribute To Ray Charles
Recorded Live at the 29. Leverkusener Jazztage, Germany, November 5th, 2008
Maceo Parker (born February 14, 1943) is an American #funk and #SoulJazz saxophonist, best known for his work with James Brown in the 1960s, Parliament-Funkadelic in the 1970s and Prince in the 2000s. Parker was a prominent soloist on many of Brown's hit recordings, and a key part of his band, playing alto, tenor and baritone saxophones. Since the early 1990s, he has toured under his own name.
Parker was born in Kinston, North Carolina. Parker's father played piano and drums in addition to singing in church with Parker's mother; his brother Melvin played drums and his brother Kellis played the trombone. Parker and his brother Melvin joined James Brown in 1964; in his autobiography, Brown claims that he originally wanted Melvin as his drummer, but agreed to additionally take Maceo under his wing as part of the deal. In 1970, Parker, his brother Melvin, and a few of Brown's band members left to establish the band Maceo & All the King's Men, which toured for two years.
In January 1973, Parker rejoined with James Brown. He also charted a single "Parrty - Part I" (#71 pop singles) with Maceo & the Macks that year. In 1975, Parker and some of Brown's band members, including Fred Wesley, left to join George Clinton's band Parliament-Funkadelic. Parker once again re-joined James Brown from 1984 to 1988.
In the 1990s, Parker began a solo career. His first album of this period "Roots Revisited" spent 10 weeks at the top of the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Charts. To date he has released 11 solo albums since 1990. His band has been billed as "the greatest little funk orchestra on earth" and the "million-dollar support band". Parker's 1992 live album "Life on Planet Groove" is considered to be his seminal live album, marking his first collaboration with Dutch saxophonist Candy Dulfer.
In 1993, Parker made guest appearances on hip hop group De La Soul's album Buhloone Mindstate. In the late 1990s, Parker began contributing semi-regularly to recordings by Prince and accompanying his band, The New Power Generation, on tour. He also played on the Jane's Addiction track "My Cat's Name Is Maceo" for their 1997 compilation album Kettle Whistle. In 1998, Parker performed as a guest on "What Would You Say" on a Dave Matthews Band concert, which also became one of their live albums, Live in Chicago 12.19.98.
In 2004, Parker toured as a part of Prince's band for the "Musicology Live 2004ever" tour and again in 2007 he performed as part of Prince's band for Prince's 21 nights at the O2 arena. Parker also played as part of Prince's band for his 21-night stay at LA's Forum in 2011.
In 2008, Maceo Parker closed the Edmonton International Jazz Festival at Urban Lounge.
Parker's album Roots & Grooves with the WDR Big Band is a tribute to Ray Charles, whom Parker cites as one of his most important influences. The album won a Jammie for best Jazz Album in 2009. Parker followed this up with another collaboration with WDR Big Band in 2012 with the album Soul Classics.
In October 2011, Parker was inducted in the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame.
In July 2012, Parker was the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from Victoires Du Jazz in Paris. He continues touring, headlining many jazz festivals in Europe and doing as many as 290 concerts a year.
In May 2016, Parker received The North Carolina Heritage Award from his home state.

47:53 is where the organ gets LIT !!! 🔥🔥
its so lit, he's burning that organ DOWN!
The right hand man to JAMES BROWN....absolute LEGEND in his own right. Go ask PRINCE.
A little hard to ask Prince now but you're correct, Maceo is a legend. I had ticket to see James Brown back in NYC at the LoneStar Cafe' and that turned out to be a night that James got arrested for a domestic problem and the show was cancelled. I saw Maceo Parkers name tag on the street. Didn't think anything of it at the time but later though I should have picked that up. I was a young saxophonist and Maceo is still my favorite Funk/R&B player.
MACEO IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME
Maceo really owned the vocal!! Ray would be proud!
I would like to see bootsy Collins and maceo Parker have a jam session together.
I never knew Maceo played piano that well. Awesome!
I never knew he sang that well!

I didn’t know anything about the organ player, but I have to say that he has an INSANE groove. I absolutely love his style
His name is Frank Chastenier and this dude has a serious pair of Cojones my man
@@StubenShocker I absolutely agree!

The famous Frank Chastenier at a Hammond organ, model RT3 console!
It was one of the greatest concerts i ever went. Wish that they would release the first part , where Maceo plays his own songs, on DVD.
This band has so much talent😢 with endless recordings.This band and its artist selection is mesmerizing ❤
Wow...I didn't even know Maceo played keyboards...that's some fine piano work around 2:24!

I’ve been to quite a few James Brown concerts back in the 60’s with Maceo playing lead alto. I believe he was only about twenty or so. And THIS is way over the edge as well! What a talent!

16:35 bari dilicious!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Great charts,great solos and much soul.The guitar has an unusual shape. Does anyone have any information about it?
Yes muisc funk jazz
Does anyone know the name of the musician who plays the alto saxophone solo from 8:30 minutes into the concert?
Maceo was,and is A great influence in young players in the 70’s , I love him ,and always will ,but this is OVERKILL. I play saxophone as well,and started with Junior Walker to Coltrane. Maceo/James Brown gave me hope in playing,but you can’t emulate Ray Charles had his own style, Jamie Foxx did a great job in the movie, but it’s only one Ray Charles. Sorry❤️🙏🏼
Sir, You could not be more correct. I know why he did this.
What is this strange looking guitar??
