MACEO PARKER

16th - 17th November 2015, Under The Bridge, Chelsea It was nice to get a second bite of the cherry and play for the second year running for Mr Soul Power Maceo Parker, the man with the funky horn and former saxophonist of the late James Brown. Both nights were packed with a mixed aged audience and Maceo was on form with his ensue of humour. He was joined again by Martha High another from the James Brown revue of yesteryear amongst his ‘all the kings men’ musicians. Maceo still skilfully does a mixture of hip-hop jazz and his own versions of James Brown penned classics like “Soul Power” and “Doing It To Death”. His drummer is the femme de fatal Queen Cora Dunham known for her notorious ill skills working with Beyonce and Prince. Boy she battered them drums like George Foreman on a heavy boxing bag but with the speed of a Mohammed Ali shuffle. Brilliant two nights and hopefully see y’all if Maceo comes back this year.
