Yep legendary horn sections,,, there were a few great groups that had tight azz horn sections back in the day🎉 and that made the difference to me,, like icing on the Cake,,🎉 but I’m a horn player, so I’m prejudiced,, dam!!!!😮😮

@@rodtrues1 Interested what you think of Lettuce? Not the same straight up funk, but HEAVILY HEAVILY influenced by JB at a very deep level. Hope you dig it! This recording is sick as hell! Fred and Maceo together is just so money. Zoidis from Lettuce gets my goat in the same way Maceo does but its obviously different.. but very reminiscent.

47:39

Yes! Amazing! I love how he slaps the Bass. Great! Funk pure

Really!

Yes wicked bass slapping wow

Ahhh thank you , you added to the goosebumps I got during that part! I wish I had funk friends locally

i'd say Bruno is one of the very few guitar players who can do a rythm comp that sounds like a bass line but ON guitar !!!

Hi Sonny. Do you know why he stopped playing with Maceo ?

Oh my god bootsie collins too!? You’re spoiled ! :)

Have you listened to his album “Breaking Bread”? It’s the first vinyl I ordered for myself and still my favourite . In real life I only show people who are close to me because it’s very special to me, but I’ll help a funky friend online!

True that, saw them in early 60's in Albany, NY, the greatest.

Thank you for that. Didn’t know

Do you know sex ?

You found it! 🤘

yes just after introducing Jamal THOMAS!

Jerry Preston!

Un capo

Thanks a lot to Alfred Pee Wee Ellis!

Remember Mr. Alfred pee wee Ellis 😎

Greetings from the great north. Love my Netherlands friends!

Sure, why not, greetings to Pee Wee Ellis too ,and the rest of the musicians.Thanks for the music again with a big smile

It is there to inspire YT children into creating new bands and keeping the funky fire alive

Hahah half the audience is white, funk is part of what bridged the gap between black people and ignorant racist white people to realize hey, they’re just people who like to get funky and listen to James brown too. James Brown was actually instrumental in bridging that gap back then.

My pleasure!

Peter seriously thank you so much! You made me and my partner’s night !

It‘s Natasha Maddison, Maceo‘s Manager since the early 90‘s, until the end. Unfortunately Maceo stopped touring. Well, with 80 years of age, well deserved to take rest

Agreed! I love when he starts scatting through the funk song. Such an amazing homage to the jazz festival to add scatting to the funk song like that

Seriously , what an amazing drummer !!

I completely agree with you, he is just awesome, bravo

I was thinking the same thing ?

BabylLajf That's the "2% Jazz" I guess ;-)

Andrew Waltman Definitely Fred Wesley on trombone, Will Boulware on organ, it's Bruno Speight on guitar, I think it's Jerome Preston on bass.. wish I knew the drummer's name. He is absolutely in the pocket. No wasted beats. I guess Peewee Ellis called in sick on this night. I don't see him. He starts to shout out the band at about 11:00, but I can't understand exactly who he's saying it is. I'm only about 15 minutes in, maybe I can recognize the others. He DOES say, "What about the band?? What about Incognito?" Maybe Incognito opened for them or something. I don't think anyone from that band is playing in this set. Great players all around, though. I am always in awe of Fred Wesley's incredible sense of style in his playing.

wholewurld Melvin Parker is the drummer. It's Maceo's brother.

The other Drummer was, Jamal Thomas

He is much better on the funky organ he’s playing in the SF Jazz concert from 2015.

Will Boulware is great here, you're not enjoying by being such a purist
