Maceo Parker became famous as the target of James Brown frequent imprecation, "Maceo, blow your horn!" The saxophonist was an integral part of two of the most influential funk groups of all time: Brown's backing band, The J.B.'s, in the 1960s, and George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic in the following decade. Parker has focused on his solo career since 1990, performing a mixture of the funk classics he helped make famous, covers of a few favorites that he didn't have a hand in, and a smattering of jazz standards.
