Maceo Parker LIVE "Pass The Peas"

[@damianbiondo812]

Gotta love the gold-plated horn. Shines so bright. And well deserved in the hands of a true master.

[@MaksimchukFL]

You hardly can play funk better than this. This is grooving so hard that playing the same at the same level with a metronome will be a pain.

[@damianbiondo812]

Yep, he played with all the funk greats -- James Brown, George Clinton and the whole P-Funk gang, and Prince. That's funk royalty right there.

[@imbees2]

Maceo is the premier horn player. Has been since the 60's. His album, Maceo Parker is excellent. I forget what year it was released, but I have it and I listen to it constantly

[@VCT3333]

He headlined the Chicago Jazz Festival one year. He was the closeout act on Sunday. He said, " I've been here for three days and saw all kinds of Jazz and so called Jazz. We ain't gonna play none of that shit." And proceeded to funkify the joint. It was MAJESTIC. Like going to a James Brown concert and listening to the backing band warm up for the Godfather. One of my favorite nights of music!!

[@wallrider90]

Saw the Maceo Parker band at Sweetwater 420 fest in 2011. Was truly one of the best, most energetic shows I've witnessed. My crew was feeling this so hard, in an unbreakable funk trance.

[@ninjagrl8]

saw them perform live in germany in the mid 90's when i was a student... and i got to dance with maceo on stage. it was too funky for words. tight. a must see.

[@evaseebock]

[@TheDomRyder]

[@LaSabrinaSabrosa]

Maceo's a living master and a freakin' national treasure. Ooooh, I can't wait to see him & Pee Wee Ellis at Jazz Fest this year!!!!

[@Panurgos3003]

I saw him years ago in Salzburg / Austria in a very little house ( only with about 200 fewers ) and he played 3,5 hours !!!! Great and unforgettable for me!

[@garydrew2318]

This music BELONGS in my body especially my feet and bones

[@donkeytime]

Maceo plays a Selmer Mark VI, (which he has had goldplated) and a Brillard Eboline mouthpiece. He uses Vandoren Java 3 and a half reeds

[@lasseandersandersen1028]

[@alexisdeveza9742]

He passed them good for sure. What a legend ❤ last concert for me in Paris, Bataclan ..

[@lasseandersandersen1028]

And We Love Y, Maceo!!!👍😉❤️❤️❤️

[@uryic000]

I am a music teacher. Let me say something. Music is 2 things. technical skill, and communicating a feeling. The great ones have both in varying proportions. This song "speaks" If you can't feel it, it's not for you. Like James Brown used to say "put your hand on the box (radio) and feel this, if you've got any kind of soul you can feel it"

[@saxronin1]

A mighty laid back version of a mighty laidback funk master,love it!!!!!

[@jerryj920]

Feb.14: Happy birthday Mr Maceo Parker. God bless and keep funkin'...

[@lasseandersandersen1028]

[@para0dize]

this guitarist is a great inspiration... it looks just like he plays all kinds of sloppy chords but he really knows what he is doing and how he gets the most funk out of his guit ;)

[@phunkmasta66]

I can't believe that I passed up an opportunity to see him live

[@julia5776]

[@steveakacornelius]

I was lucky enough to be at the O2 gig. Best show ever. This just helps to relive the night

[@BrucknerMotet]

The organist shreds. (See 3:00). I'm playing along with my alto, learning Maceo's staccato funk style.

[@MyTallTripod]

Thanks for sharing! Wonderful!

[@MatNinatStudio]

@Casper3580 Hi ! Well it was one of those big DV cameras with a 1/2" sensor, and big lens. Proper television pro equipment in early 2000. Glad you like it ;-) Have you seen the interview ?... I got him to actually play his sax which he usually never does ! Such good memories, I love Maceo....

[@louisbrillon]

@mabrowndog Thank you very very much. Everyone kept saying that it was Fred Wesley....

[@RonaldSteinacheramSaxophon]

great Maceo!

[@ViperEye]

Huh!? Im suprised, you can get really groovy in this tune. It sets the stage for awesome and inspiring solo's that lets the audience swing. It's got a simple melody, so what- It's about the mood. Being an alto saxophonist, i can tell from experience, it's just really a delicious tune! Pass the peas like they used to say!

[@MrJamontoroja]

Maceo Parker (Kinston, Carolina del Norte, 14 de febrero de 1943), saxofonista de jazz y funk estadounidense.

[@ViperEye]

His full setup: Mark 6 alto, Brilhart Eboline mouthpiece and 3 1/2 Java reeds. What a funky sound it creates...

[@pkyle90]

Wanee 2013 baby

[@pretorious700]

I'm white as you get, but I've been playing funk for 35 years. I played in a soul band when I was 16 years old. There's a relaxed groove that older players get that is difficult for younger guys. I like it when youthful adrenaline is replaced with knowledge. I'm a bass player, and as the years go by, I play less and less notes with more effect.

[@LaSabrinaSabrosa]

Maceo, when are you coming back to New Orleans?? You cancelled the last show at the last minute, and we hadn't seen you since before Katrina, man! We could really use your funky stuff right about now, sir XO

[@MiguelDrums]

This is FUNK!

[@DemTheComposer]

Funky Trombone! My God!

[@mcmeekz]

Heyyyy now maceo. Get down wit da git down.

[@Harpua352]

on a C instrument he's doing some sliding on an A9 chord... try using these notes in ascending order... C#, G, B (iii, VII, ii) then mimic from there... hope that helped

[@Abigmandis]

@BassistLekang .....well ive done exactly the same thing and im 39......the simple answer is music is music, you just got to find the style you enjoy the most
