Legendary saxophonist Maceo Parker has been a common
thread in the history of funk — helping to pioneer the sound
of the genre in collaborations alongside seminal icons such as
James Brown, George Clinton, and Prince, all the while honing
his own signature brand of showmanship with a cool confidence.
In this special program, Maceo, along with his flawlessly tight Big
Band — former members of the Ray Charles Orchestra and the
Raelettes — bring together a joyful experience of all things LOVE.
Anchored in music from his new album It’s All About Love (including
hits from Crosby, Stills & Nash, Major Harris, Stevie Wonder, and the
Isley Brothers including “Love The One You’re With,” “Love Won’t Let
Me Wait,” “Isn’t She Lovely,” and “I Love You A Bushel And A Peck”),
and Ray Charles material featuring each of the Raelettes, along with
Maceo Parker classics such as “Soul Power” and “Pass the Peas,” it’s
sure to be an evening that transports audiences to the slickest of
eras in a performance that is positively timeless.
Join the Modlin Center for the Arts as we celebrate the
closing of our 2018-2019 season with a post-performance
reception in Booth Lobby.
