  • There is only one Maceo Parker! What a super funky rendition of Ray Charles his "Hallelujah I Love Her So". I loved his melodic interpretation, so that's in the transcription as well as his funky improvised sax solo. This was in collaboration with the WDR Big Band from Cologne, performing live in Leverkusen.

    I had the pleasure of seeing Maceo live around 6 years ago, when I was 10 and just started playing sax. His performance completely changed my view on what could be done on a sax and just how flipping cool it really was. I owe my entire jazz experience to maceo getting me so into it in the first place. I hope some day I can thank him in person 🙏

    This is do dope, and besides his amazing solo, I just love how he interprets that melody! That rhythmic acceleration trick he does in bar 25 and 29 always really sucked me in. Maybe I'll do a breakdown video on that if I can find the time, as it's genius how he uses the saxophone as such a rhythmical instrument. 🔥
    What do you love about Maceo Parker? Drop it in the comments down ⤵ Would love to hear that!
    By the way, for those interested, I've recently published a course on what I consider to be the Saxophone Fundamentals, what I see that all the saxophone great I've transcribed (over 160 transcription so far) all have in common. Great licks and lines is one thing, but if your sound is crappy, that won't bail you out. It's a 2 hour + course that gives you exercises, which also overlap in different areas so they are compound excercises and you tackle a few essentials at the same time. Check it out here: www.sharpelevenmusic.com/saxophone-fundamentals-how-to-sound-like-a-pro
    Or if you want to go for more straight forward stuff, we have a "Saxophone Licks Unraveled" ebook with a selection of 21 of the best sax licks we've ran accros from varying artist, all conceptually explained so you could take the rough idea and mould that into your own: www.sharpelevenmusic.com/saxophone-licks-unraveled

    A few “once in a generation” musicians have had folks trying to copy or be heavily influenced by them. But no one tries to copy Maceo - most likely because it’s a code that can’t be broken. Maceo Parker is a musical “one off”!

    Off the top, sounds like a bit of 'Mercy, Mercy', Joe Zawinul, i think. The Buckinghams had a vocal version on radio when I was a kid, and after hearing it as an instrumental at many blues jams, I began fudging my way thru a couple of verses.
