It's a musical antidepressant\, an antidote to dark days. .... firmed my belief that the world would be a better place if we all funked together."\;\n-San Diego Reader\n\n \;\n \;\n\n \;\nMaceo Parker: his name is synonymous with Funky Music\, his pedigree impeccable\ ; his band: the tightest little funk orchestra on earth.\n\nEveryone knows by now that he's played with each and every leader of funk\, his start wi th James Brown\, which Maceo describes as "\; like being at University "\;\; jumping aboard the Mothership with George Clinton\; stretching out with Bootsy's Rubber Band. \; He&rsquo\;s the living\, breathing p ulse which connects the history of Funk in one golden thread. The cipher w hich unravels dance music down to its core.\n\nHis collaborations over the years performing or recording or both have included Ray Charles\, Ani Dif ranco\, James Taylor\, De La Soul\, Dave Matthews Band and the Red Hot Chi lli Peppers. His timeless sound has garnered him a fresh young fan base. It is almost impossible to separate which came first\, Maceo or the funk. The amazing P-funk Parker has been at it with his legendary alto horn for some time dating back to the 1960&rsquo\;s. That&rsquo\;s when Maceo and h is drummer brother Melvin climbed on board the James Brown funky soul funk train. It wasn&rsquo\;t long before James coined the solo summoning signa ture\, &ldquo\; Maceo\, I want you to Blow!&rdquo\;. \;To most musicol ogists it&rsquo\;s the muscially fertile group of men \;from this peri od of James Brown's band \;who are recognized as the early pioneers of the modern funk and hip-hop we still jump to today.\nFor more information \, please visit Maceo Parker's website.
