Maceo, Won’t ya Blow!

James Brown summoned Maceo Parker many times over the years to work his sax magic. When it comes to tight funk and soul, it just doesn’t get any better than this.

From the 1996 documentary “My First Name Is Maceo.” As always I urge you to purchase it and any other videos or albums to help support these artists. It’s how they make their living, and they give us a lot of entertainment and joy.

Along with Maceo are former band mates Fred Wesley (trombone) and Pee Wee Ellis (saxophone). They played together in James Brown’s Band and later in the JB’s. There’s something special about the two sax and bone combination. You don’t hear it very often.
