Maceo Parker - Make it funky

[@imbees2]

Trombone Shorty playing with Maceo, is out of sight! Such a presence for both.

[@garyclaytor7214]

Maceo is THE man! I have been trying for years to get that sound, to no avail. There is only ONE Maceo!

[@Q.Lawrence]

Same here 😂

[@imbees2]

No one can play sax like Maceo.

[@traceysedlakova4383]

Always great to see Trombone Shorty playing with living legends. Makes my New Orleans soul happy ❤️

[@parapapapa69]

Trombone Shorty live is something to behold

[@imbees2]

Love me some Trombone Shorty!

[@timcrider7591]

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.

[@SweetWinnDixie]

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]

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.

[@SweetWinnDixie]

@@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!

[@jamesmilton2495]

As a great artist is supposed to be.

[@imbees2]

for sho!

[@rdu_wolf]

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.

[@christophertheiss8877]

We all have something in common. None of us will ever be as cool as Maceo. Ever.

[@jaybone58]

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!

[@ro.guitar8429]

[@JazzizCafeLoveJazz]

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

[@richardjakobek7477]

The precision of the brass from 1:33 is incredible.

[@dikbeats2720]

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

[@jefferyclark6619]

[@rodtruesdale6999]

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,,

[@sheilabarron7206]

This is Stinky Funky So Stinky The Funk Just Stays in Your Body Trapped Thank you Kostas 🖤

[@ata1811]

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.

[@imbees2]

Trombone Shorty!

[@johnkarag]

Magnificent live performance and great music experience......!!!!!!!!

[@allgoo1990]

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

[@insomniagfx]

You;'ve got that flipped, AVW sounds like the studio version of this :)

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you think you got the funky rhythm, trying to blast on Maceo. It ain't happening. Not tonight! Not tomorrow!.

[@sobaytje]

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.

[@bobjones6572]

Trombone Shorty absolutely funkin ridiculous.

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.
