Tunes for dancin' and chillin', March 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Southern Exposure (Audio CD)
I first heard this disc at a house party 3 years ago and I STILL turn it on when I'm making dinner, getting ready to go out, driving around town or funkin' it up. Without a dime in my pocket for a concert ticket, I once hid in the woods behind the outdoor venue where Maceo was appearing with some friends and wine and lived it up anyway. Dancing to these tunes with a group of friends can't be beat and the combos with Rebirth are smokin'. I have shared this album with everyone I know and almost all of them have run out for their own copy. Beware when you introduce this disc at parties, though. We have had an empty-case scare almost every time, but it always finds its way home.

Fred Wesley and Pee Wee Ellis on the track!, January 12, 2005
This review is from: Southern Exposure (Audio CD)
On this well-rounded and consistently memorable release, Maceo Parker sticks mostly to funky blues but is also impressive on a boppish version of "The Way You Look Tonight." He splits his time between fronting an organ combo, leading a reunion with fellow James Brown alumni trombonist Fred Wesley and tenor-saxophonist Pee Wee Ellis, and on two songs he is joined by the enthuisastic Rebirth Brass Band. Maceo Parker only takes one vocal so the emphasis throughout is on his soulful alto, making this among his most rewarding jazz recordings.

SOUTHERN SAX AT IT'S BEST!, February 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Southern Exposure (Audio CD)
Light the candles, open the red wine, spark up the j_ _ _ t. This CD is an icon of social gatherings and posseses one of the finest jazz/funk sax solos ever heard. I saw Maceo live in the south of France at an outdoor Summer concert. Nothing beats the mood laid down by this Master of Funk!
