NotesMaceo Parker, the saxophonist who pioneered the sounds of funk and soul in the 1960s as the sideman to the legendary James Brown, has since established a solo career that embraces not only that seminal funk sound but also jazz, R&B and more. On SOUL CLASSICS, a collection of nine songs recorded live at the Leverkusener Jazz Festival in Leverkusener, Germany, in November 2011, Parker reunites with the WDR Big Band, whom he first encountered on the 2008 two-disc release of ROOTS & GROOVES. The record captures Parker and his own small combo - bassist Christian McBride and drummer Core Coleman-Dunham - in collaboration with the Cologne-based 15-piece orchestra led by conductor/arranger Michael Abene.
