This is a live album by American Soul / Funk vocalist / saxophonist Maceo ParkerFind albums by this artist, who performs a set of classic Soul hits accompanied by bassist Christian McBrideFind albums by this artist, drummer Cora Coleman-DunhamFind albums by this artist and the fabulous German WDR Big BandFind albums by this artist. The album presents ten tracks, one of which is announcement, one is an original by Parker and the rest are arrangements of classis Soul / Funk / Pop songs.
The album is mostly an entertaining reminder of the great times, when Soul music enjoyed its greatest glory, and the role of Maceo Parker as a member of groups that accompanied such musicians as James BrownFind albums by this artist or PrinceFind albums by this artist. But for the Jazz enthusiasts, the album offers brilliant work by the WDR Big Band, which swings brilliantly and offers many excellent instrumental soli.
Overall, this is a nice reminder of the Soul era, packaged with some excellent Big Band arrangements and performed by one of the best European Big Bands, so what more can we ask for to have some fun!
