Biografía
Se dio a conocer en la formación de James Brown, en la que coincidió en la sección de vientos con el también saxofonista, Pee Wee Ellis y el trombonista, Fred Wesley -conocidos con el sobrenombre de los "J.B.'s Horns" -, con los que, al margen del cantante, James Brown, crearía diversos grupos, como el Maceo & All The King's Men, y participaría en diversas formaciones lideradas por George Clinton.
Desde principios de la década de los noventa - y junto a Ellis y Wesley, o en solitario, o bien con invitados de prestigio como la Rebirth Brass Band - Maceo Parker, ha emprendido una exitosa carrera en la que su personal fórmula de, según él, un 2% de jazz y un 98% de funk, le está proporcionando excelentes resultados.
Su sonido al saxo - que recuerda a la mejor tradición de King Curtis - enriquecido con su propia personalidad y aunado a la complicidad que comparte con Ellis, y Fred Wesley, les ha llevado a constituir una de las secciones de viento más emblemáticas del soul jazz, terreno en el que cada uno de ellos ha dado abundantes muestras en los últimos años de una altísima creatividad y de una fascinante habilidad para combinar tradición y modernidad.
En los últimos años ha grabado y salido de gira con el músico Prince, a veces acompañado al viento por Candy Dulfer.
