Aldeburgh Music

Blisteringly tight funk

Maceo Parker is synonymous with funk and simply one of its greatest ever exponents.

The lynch-pin of the legendary James Brown's band for the best part of two decades, the roster of his other co-conspirators reads like a who's who; Ray Charles, James Taylor, De La Soul, Prince, and Ani DiFranco.

Irrepressible, charismatic, effortlessly cool, his blisteringly tight band navigates between funk, jazz and soul, and features one of the UK's jazz-funk figureheads, trombonist Dennis Rollins.
