A lynchpin in the evolution of funk, saxophonist Maceo Parker has played with James Brown, Parliament-Funkadelic, and Prince, just to name a few. ROOTS & GROOVES (2008) finds the legendary instrumentalist still laying down incendiary chops and giving as good as ever.
On the first disc of this two-disc set Parker joins the WDR Big Band to rip through a repertoire of Ray Charles material. "Hallelujah I Love Her So," "Hit the Road Jack," and "What'd I Say" are given plenty of brass and bite. The second disc is a heavy dose of straight up funk that has Parker joined by P-funk alums Dennis Chambers (drums) and Rodney "Skeet" Curtis (bass). The band lays it down on cuts like "Off the Hook" and an extended jam on James Brown's classic "Pass the Peas."
