Z2 Entertainment is proud to present Maceo Parker with Special Guests at the Fox Theatre tonight, July 31st, 2015.

Maceo Parker: His name is synonymous with funky music, his pedigree impeccable; his band: the tightest little funk orchestra on earth. Maceo has played with every leader of funk from James Brown and George Clinton to Prince.

Saxophonist Maceo Parker embodies the legacy of soul and funk music like no other musician can. Always at the forefront, Maceo has been a common thread in the history of funk -- helping to pioneer the sound of the genre in collaborations alongside seminal icons like James Brown, George Clinton, and Prince, all the while honing his own signature brand of showmanship. Leading his flawlessly tight band with a cool confidence, Maceo transports audiences to the slickest of eras in performances that are positively timeless. Most recently, Maceo revisits the classics with the WDR Big|Brave Band on a live album, Soul Classics, a collection of some of the most enduring songs in the vast canon of American soul music from James Brown, to Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, and other luminaries. As Maceo says, "Listeners are going to hear some very familiar songs in an entirely new way, and in the process, they're going to rediscover just how great the material really is."
