Having steered the mothership and worked as a triggerman for the Godfather of Soul, storied sax man Maceo Parker now brings his own tight rhythm and soul sound to vinyl (er, plastic) in undeniable proof that he's still "got it." Combining his smoking horn with the backing of fellow legends such as trombonist Fred Wesley and new bloods such as son Corey (whose intermittent raps colorfully enhance the album's youthful vibrance), Maceo works through the familiar funk and soul lines of his Parliament and JB days and adds new twists to such classics as Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" and "Inner City Blues," Stevie Wonder's "Tell Me Something Good," and Sly Stone's "Sing a Simple Song," while offering a number of his own well-orchestrated and well-seasoned compositions. "Youth of the World" features Maceo on a lead vocal reminiscent of Kool Moe Dee or Kurtis Blow, while "Do You Love Me" rises like Tower of Power before the sultry Chicago lines of closer "Going in Circles." Though Maceo's original lyrical attempts may be a bit immature, his years of experience and hard work shine through with every brassy attack and smooth soul note. ~ Matthew Robinson http://rapidgator.net/file/908be1b7c28c47c8f43ab50294946ebe/MAPFUNOV.rar.html http://ssh.tf/L34uI0xuS/MAPFUNOV.rar

Artist: Maceo Parker Title: Roots & Grooves Year Of Release: 2007 Label: Intuition Records Genre: Jazz-Funk / Soul Quality: FLAC (tracks) / MP3 Total Time: 01:42:43 Total Size: 756 MB / 254 MB Tracklist: CD1: Tribute To Ray Charles 1. Hallelujah I Love Her So (6:38) 2. Busted (3:53) 3. Them That's Got (6:12) 4. You Don't Know Me (6:24) 5. Hit The Road Jack (5:09) 6. Margie (6:01) 7. Georgia On My Mind (6:17) 8.

Pass The Peas (17:48) Say the name Maceo Parker, and immediately the legendary R&B saxman's longterm association with the late, great James Brown comes to mind. Depending on how steeped one is in R&B, Parker's later work with George Clinton and Bootsy Collins might pop up. But long before the Godfather of Soul entered the saxman's life, Parker was grooving heavily on Ray Charles, who became one of the influential musical heroes of his life. The first disc of Roots and Grooves gloriously celebrates Parker's connection to these roots, his early years in North Carolina listening to early Charles tracks on the radio. The second is something of a wildly jazzy, impossibly funky jam retrospective on his best solo tracks. The hook that makes this more than simply a high energy covers date is that it teams the brilliant altoist with Germany's renowned WDR Big Band -- and from the first swinging blasts behind Parker's horn on "Hallelujah I Love Her So," "big" is the operative word. Given Parker's sense of groove invention and the evergreen emotional power of Charles' chestnuts like "Busted" and "Hit the Road Jack," anyone might have expected this to be a dream match. But it's more than that because Parker also sings with a gravelly, Charles-like perfection on these two songs, and even more poignantly on "You Don't Know Me," "Margie," and a magically moody "Georgia on My Mind." Charles may have been declared deceased in body in 2004, but he lives again through Parker in haunting yet wonderful ways. On "Getting Back to Funk" (the title of the second disc), Parker revisits his own rich catalog of classics, starting with "Uptown Up" and vibing right on through to a nearly 18-minute scorching take on "Pass the Peas." Released in early 2008, this double set was an instant classic. Charles was not the only genius who loved company -- Parker, too, has a blast working with one of the hippest big bands in the world. -- Jonathan Widran http://rapidgator.net/file/5b0b08d8357915f82a8b71be05b3108f/ROGRO1.rar.html http://ssh.tf/qE2Jo9VWZ/ROGRO1.rar https://bytewhale.com/9rft4au50dyu/ROGRO1.rar http://rapidgator.net/file/97af0c70b7c10d585916dd7b81b45b5f/ROGRO2.rar.html http://ssh.tf/TSQXj0bWZ/ROGRO2.rar https://bytewhale.com/l7hx17ylv4p3/ROGRO2.rar http://rapidgator.net/file/2c8cf001665c63c3fc30b665bc5a1127/ROGRO320.rar.html http://ssh.tf/osjCjUVWZ/ROGRO320.rar https://bytewhale.com/8uv50np8tcxv/ROGRO320.rar
