Maceo Parker has played with each and every leader of funk, from his start with James Brown—which Parker describes as “like being at a university”—to jumping aboard the mothership with George Clinton. He is the living, breathing pulse that connects the history of funk in one golden thread. His diverse collaborations over the years—with artists such as Ray Charles, Ani Difranco, James Taylor, De La Soul, Dave Matthews Band, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers—have formed alliances that have enabled him to bring his talent to new, widespread audiences.
