Biography
Maceo (pronounced may-see-oh) Parker (born February 14, 1943) is a noted American funk and soul jazz saxophonist, best known for his work with James Brown in the 1960s. Parker was a prominent soloist on many of Browns hit recordings, and a key part of his band, playing alto, tenor and baritone saxophones. Parkers rhythmic and rapid playing style draws on the earlier innovations of be-bopper Charlie Parker (no relation), and Cannonball Adderley, mixed with Browns own innovations in funk music.
