 Maceo Parker
Maceo Parker was born in Kingston, North Carolina in 1943.
In January 1995, Parker released a documentary by the name of "My Name Is Maceo", which is recorded off and on stage during a couple of years in the beginning of the 90s and which shows different aspects of Parker's life and music through the years.
Maceo Parker soon came to be a new and hot name on the big European Jazz Festivals, and through the festivals he managed to reach a new younger audience who loved his groovy live shows.

Still, there are more vocals here than on a typical Maceo Parker disc, with Parker tackling some of the singing himself and his son, Corey Parker, lending a hip-hop rap vibe on a couple of tunes.
Elsewhere, Parker goes even farther with Paul McCartney's "My Love," eliminating all the vocal parts and playing the melody on sax.
DIAL M.A.C.E.O. Released within a week of each other back in November, Ani DiFranco's To the Teeth and Prince's Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic not only had each artist guesting on the other's album but also included cameos by the legendary saxophonist Maceo Parker.

Sax legend Maceo Parker was born in 1943 in Kinston, N.C. into a musical family -- both his parents sang in their church choir and Maceo's uncle was in a professional band that would often rehearse at Parker's house.
