Editorial Reviews

Just let the old s cool sounds of Maceo s alto sax send your body to the happy land where time forgot. Nothing on earth compares to a live evening epic with Maceo s super tight band of brothers. But be advised his new release titled Schools In! on BHM Records is undoubtedly the next best thing to being with the funk maestro in person.

This new release was recorded, mixed and mastered with tremendous effort by the multiple awarded soundengineer Klaus Genuit in the Hansa Haus Studios, Germany. And what an extraordinary result! The Hybrid-Super-Audio-CD can be played in Stereo on any Player. To enjoy the ultimate 5.1 surround sound play this record should be played in a SACD

compatible Player.

4.0 out of 5 stars As a school, it would be a High School (3,5 stars), July 22, 2005

The funkiest sax player ever is back with a new album!
My favorite tracks are the infectious "What You Know About Funk?" (which features great rap from his son, Corey Parker) and the smooth jazz dreamy "Song For My Teacher" (what a beautiful song! it reminds me of Grover Washington Jr.).
Contains also nice covers from Jackson 5's "ABC" and Sam Cooke's "What A Wonderful World" featuring Candy Dulfer.
I admit it's a grower because it's speed, complex and lenghty music, and it takes time to know and recognize the melodies. But it's definitively worth checking if you are into jazz-funk
Blow Maceo!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funkiest Funk, November 20, 2007

Uoh, Uoh, Uoh! This album is one of the most entertaining albums ever made in my rating! Maceo and his band here blow some extraterrestrial, out of this world, phenomenal funky stuff that will shake your walls and make you feet tap foerever! Absolutly fabolous album, nothing less. I own it since it came out and I have listened to it thousands times, from the beginning to the end, sometimes even in loop. I own two albums from Maceo, this one and Funkoverload and even if Funkoverload is very good too, this is the one that could blow anyone away! It is simply phenomenal funky stuff, extremely groovin', with sax solos from Maceo to die for. The band is extremely tight, the arrangements interesting and very in tune with the style, and the funky is all around! There are not highlight tunes here, the album is an highlight in its entirely! Absolutly a must have if you love the funk stuff. This album will turn heads.

If you love James Brown, and Jazz, this CD is nice. Maceo did a good job. Just about every song was nice. Very Funky.
