I have heard this man's music for decades, all the way back to the James Brown days and Bootsie Collins,, he is as good now as he ever was. Thank You Maceo Parker.
That's what suppose to happen, every person who plays an instrument for many years are supposed to be recognized instantaneously, imagine if Maceo Parker was trying to sound like Groover Washington Jr.? No, it ain't gonna work. Of course Maceo can play a tune by Groover, that's acceptable, but (Rat On) back to doing The Maceo Parker thing.
I've been fortunate enough to see Maceo a few times here in the Raleigh area over the years. Talked to him for a bit @RDU back in the day. They were flying to NYC to play on SNL, which is super cool. Circa 2001 IIRC. I love to hear music played with passion like this. So fun to see live.
So cool to see Shorty up there with Maceo. Nice solo, for sure, but it makes you appreciate Funky Fred who can say so much more while conserving energy!
i know im randomly asking but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!

Wow! Amazing! Thanks for share it! Espectacular este directo de "Make it funky" en el NN North Sea Jazz Festival de 2012, del mítico Maceo Parker en esa ocasión junto a Trombone Shorty. Este lunes 15 podremos verlo en Madrid en la Sala BUT. No te lo pierdas... Parker se hizo conocido primero en los sesenta junto a James Brown y luego en los setenta como parte del colectivo George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic y lleva muchos años recorriendo el mundo con su espectacular Funk. #funk
Maceo is the goat of funky alto.. His percussive approach is flawless. And the trumbone solo would blow anyone's head off hard. I think would be impressed
No trumpet solo?.....man I was waiting!....who plays sax with more soul than than Maceo?????....Cannonball maybe....Maceo is a treasure ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
FUNKY INDEED!!!! As a kid I can still remember JB calling to Maceo to "play that horn" on a couple of his records maybe this one I'm not sure but I always wondered who Maceo was and now of course I know and he's great
Hello Liam, Maceo made me change from trumpet to sax, in the 5th grade bk in the 70's when James Brown was the Hottest entertainer on the PLANET, that and also my school rental trumpet @ Carver High School was crap and smelled, later I found out he attended NCA&TSU in greensboro nc, where I played a bit,, James Brown stole him right out of college, shucks, I would have done the same thang,and the rest is history, love you Maceo Parker,,
Originally James Brown and his band. This is a piece of art. Studio recorded version sounds very similar to "pick up the pieces" by average white band. "Make it funky" was released in 1971 "Pick up the pieces" was released in 1974
Yes, Yes, Maceo's sax playing will get you so FUNKED UP, all over the dance floor, even if like me your a 66 year old prematurely retired pediatrician due to a stroke, and technically permanently disabled person. But I'm able to still throw down all over the dance floor under the effect, power of this such music with multiple dance partners of the finer gender! I SO LOVE MUSIC, AND IT'S LIKE A SPECIAL THERAPY TO ME, IN OTHER WORDS, IT MAKES ME SO FUNKING HAPPY AND ALL FUNKED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL POWER TO MASTER MACEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the key sonic architects of funk, Maceo Parker first became a legend for his work with James Brown, whose impassioned shouts for a sax solo ("Maceo! Blow your horn!") would make Parker the Godfather of Soul's most famous sideman, though Parker would continue to enjoy a successful career long after leaving Brown's employ.
First time I thought of a trombone being a percussion instrument. Very cool. Sorry , but just "discovered" you guys. But glad I did. I see you are coming to Wharton Center at MSU.
I truly can't believe the thumbs down here. This is some serious night out in the park jam here. Come on Philly. Change your DELL, guest list for 2017, Look into getting Maceo here please. Then Check out Jersey For Robert Randolph and the Family Band trust me, some good talent in JERSEY.. Send us home exhausted for a change.
Mannnnnn!!!! Remember that old ad from the 70's about Bo Jackson? Bo knows this, Bo knows that. Well if ANYBODY knows funk. Maceo KNOWS funk. He rode right hand with 2 of the Masters, one of which was the ORIGINAL MASTER of Funk. The JAMES BROWN, and Prince. MACEO is like a damn Yoda of Funk. I seen the dude back in the 60's and 70'. He's a damn MONSTER BAD ASS. Please excuse my french, but that's the ONLY way to put it.
Belíssimo musical ! Eu tenho 57 lps do James Brown/ J.B.S. Mas esse rapaz do trombone de vara é incrível!!!! Ao lado do enternado do piston formam uma dupla de outro planeta!!!! Se alguém souber o nome dele [do que toca o trombone] me fale por favor.
Ça fait plaisir d'avoir des news du temps passé à toi je pense fort a good et je suis content pour pour te faire une belle vie de famille en moi c'est tout pour faire une idée dû au mariage que temps qui de mon lit est très agréable de se sentir en boxer avec le soleil de ta famille
I appreciate Trombone Shorty for following the Harold Betters tradition of not trying to display 'chop monster' all the time but rather focus on making people happy with his playing... isn't that what Maceo Parker has always been about anyway???
... and Maceo seemed to thoroughly enjoy the set too. It's awesome when a fellow headliner is able to sit-in with the band and simply play tight (and then let go when it's time to let go - he earned the right to make his own mark on the funk).
Trombone Shorty playing with Maceo, is out of sight! Such a presence for both.
Maceo is THE man! I have been trying for years to get that sound, to no avail. There is only ONE Maceo!
Same here 😂
No one can play sax like Maceo.
Always great to see Trombone Shorty playing with living legends. Makes my New Orleans soul happy ❤️
Trombone Shorty live is something to behold
Love me some Trombone Shorty!
I have heard this man's music for decades, all the way back to the James Brown days and Bootsie Collins,, he is as good now as he ever was. Thank You Maceo Parker.
Maceo has an unbelievably unique sound when he plays sax! So distinctive, whenever I hear a sax part played by him I can tell instantly!

@@ernestmorellsr7929 Yes I know that... it's almost as if I'm a trained saxophonist trying to compliment the tone of my idol... oh wait I am!
As a great artist is supposed to be.
for sho!

We all have something in common. None of us will ever be as cool as Maceo. Ever.
So cool to see Shorty up there with Maceo. Nice solo, for sure, but it makes you appreciate Funky Fred who can say so much more while conserving energy!
Poufff waouhh ....même à Montgenèvre c'était de la balle ! Thanks Maceo & co 👍
Maceo Parker one of the best horn sections. Love Soul.
This drummer is making everything funky here !!!
I think can feel what they feel. And it's a wonderful feeling. I love music.
Shades of JB and the rhythm funk factory holdin' it down back in the day. Still funky after all these years. Have mercy!
Musica más maravillosa que gran Saxofonista Maceo Parker Saludos desde Costa Rica
And don t ignore, or forget the drummer and the guitar player as well, so awesome !. Luv ya, funky lovers, Tom As
A master of the funk with the instrumentation. The saxophone comes alive during that solo, just incredible, as if the instrument is talking to you
A band that really blows our socks off !!!! I just love this !!!
Maceo always gets it done. The band is in the house!
Maceo and The Horn's Are Smoking Thank you Kostas 🖤💙
the solo break at 2:15 ... timing, phrasing, sound ... great !
This is REAL music, played from the heart and felt in the soul - yes this is music you FEEL!

Ça, pas de doute, pour monter sur la scène à coté de Macéo, il ne faut pas être la moitié d'un musicien.
Saw him last night. Absolutely a Master. I got funkified to the MAX.
Maceo's a living master. If he comes to your town, buy that ticket :)
He's coming.
We have just followed your advice and it was a good one. It was beautiful.
Your last name is the same as My favourite funk, and R&B guitarist ever , Cornel Dupree! Any relation between you , and him?
Seen him twice live now in my hometown Rotterdam. Hope I'll get another chance to see him live asap! Tired of this whole corona bs!!

Maceo is damn near 80s years old. And still putting his sax on the money!
Maceo Parker we LOVE you.
From your home town Kinston NC
Those horns are very tight. Damn sharp.
incredible jazz band, never heard anything so good live , though I know many jazz groups . American Greetings brothers

The greatest saxophonist ever Maceo Parker
Don't know about the greatest but he's definitely the Funkiest sax 🎷 man to ever do it.
My man Maceo, those horns tight or what?
Trombone Shorty blows the roof off!
T. Shorty's got skills!
shortTrombone Shorty blows the roof off! good day all
Energetic. Not as funky as Fred Wesley.....
@@cliffordbailey8737 I'll see Fred Wesley _ thanks for the pipe
@@ErickBremont222 Hard to miss. He can be heard with James Brown, Parliament-Funkadelic, The JBs, and Maceo...
Ok I knew what Maceo P would be packing but Trombone Shorty was impressive. Young Blood 's got some old school inside. Great job!

j'adore Maceo ! à fond le funk...
Maceo Parker just gets better with time!
You should have seen him with Fred Wesley and Pee Wee Ellis in the early 90s.
merci maceo!!!!!tu es le meilleurs!!!!!
So much talent!

This is Stinky Funky So Stinky The Funk Just Stays in Your Body Trapped Thank you Kostas 🖤
Maceo played a brand of jazz-funk that is acknowledged as an influence by a generation of younger musicians who grew up listening to James Brown.
Trombone Shorty!
Magnificent live performance and great music experience......!!!!!!!!
Originally James Brown and his band.
This is a piece of art.
Studio recorded version sounds very similar to "pick up the pieces" by average white band.
"Make it funky" was released in 1971

You;'ve got that flipped, AVW sounds like the studio version of this :)
Never heard a trombone playing like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like an alto !!
Wayne Henderson of The Crusaders?
@@jkara7843 Like a trombone!!!😆
You'd enjoy some jams by Fred Wesly then
Fred Wesley, The Godfather of funk Trombone

I got in trouble at work listening to this because I couldn't stop giving people the stink eye... too dayum funky!
My funky soul can’t take it 😩🔥
Es un honor, Jazz lo llevo en la sangre
Now this is what Philly should bring to Philly DELL. Send us out there with no voices gone ,tired, and exhausted . JAMMING.
SANDRA FRANKS
even with the album life on planet groove this idea of 'happy music' reigns within. this made me smile.
When you think you got the funky rhythm, trying to blast on Maceo. It ain't happening. Not tonight! Not tomorrow!.

Trombone Shorty absolutely funkin ridiculous.
😘😘↙
4:38 - 5:33 what?! it's not a trombone solo, it's a rocket launcher solo! Mindblowing
Happy Birthday Maceo!! CHEERS from Eastern NC!!
First time I thought of a trombone being a percussion instrument. Very cool. Sorry , but just "discovered" you guys. But glad I did. I see you are coming to Wharton Center at MSU.
Blowin" the Bues Away ! Thank U Maceo!!
When Maceo sings and plays, you best come along with that musical program! The one and only Maceo Parker! Don't get it twisted!

Yesss Maceo. Play it now. Trombone shorty. Yessss
Just Sick .. give Trombone player his own show ,.
He has his own stuff, look for "Trombone Shorty"
He's a solo artist who's just guesting with this band. I've seen his act live, and it's definitely one of the top 3 shows I've ever been to.
TheSkipjack95 Thanks for telling us that! 👍👏😀
Hey! I saw you play here in Perth, Australia a few months back.
Really nice man! So nice to see its a family affair!
