Coytee Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I stumbled onto his "Roots Revisited" (Childrens World) by accident on the radio & liked it. Furthermore, I thought the WIFE would like it and the more she likes it, the more she'll want to listen to the Jubilees! Ok, so I'm an underhanded, sneaky rat [6] Talked to her last night and she made comment that the Roots Revisted cd just might be one of her favorites so I said I'd get a couple more. As I look up Amazon, seems he has a bunch. I was wondering if there are any fans of his here that might recommend a 'good / better / best' listing of his stuff?

kuisis Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Gotta love Maceo. He started out playing with James Brown and then with Parliment Funkadelic. Great way to learn funk. Saw him live a few times and he puts on a hell of a show. If your looking for some recordings try Roots Revisted or Life on Planet Groove. Horns sound great on horns, can only imagine what they sound like on Jubilees. Enjoy the music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flannj Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I have several of Maceo's albums and Roots Revisited is one of my favorites. But the one I put on the most is; "James Brown Soul Pride: The Instrumentals (1960 - 1969)". http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/103-3527710-6881465?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=james+brown+soul+pride&Go.x=14&Go.y=8 Nothing funkier.

Coytee Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Do I understand this right... "Soul Pride", is a 2 cd set and is costing anywhere from $92 to $250??? [] I am really confused on that reality, or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[] I am really confused on that reality, or am I missing something? Coytee, Yes, it is a 2 CD set. No, it's not worth $92. Must be out of print. I checked e-bay and got this: Soul Pride: The Instrumentals (1960-69) (CD, 1993) Primary Artist: James Brown Best Price: $95.99 List Price: $29.98 If you can find a reasonably priced set it is well worth it. - Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankphess Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Love Maceo. Life on Planet Groove is my favorite. He toured with Prince a couple years ago, and is on Prince's 3 CD box set - One Night Alone Live. This box set includes lots of other musicians as well, George Clinton, Candy Dalfer, Sheila E. to name a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben. Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Another nod here for Planet Groove. It's a well recorded live record and kicks serious tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyone Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I have been a Maceo fan for a long time. He is outstanding. If you like Roots Revisited then you will definitely like Mo' Roots and Southern Exposure. These albums are very similar in tempo and style to Roots Revisited. Planet Groove is a great listen also, but it is a live album and is a bit more up tempo and aggressive than the studio work. All the Kings Men Doin' There Own Thing is also a fantastic album. It is a bit older- circa 1970. It is super funky. The newer albums- Funk Overload, My First Name is Maceo and DIAL Maceo- are heavy funk and some rap by his son Cory. Not in the same genre as Roots Revisited. I still like these albums but they are a departure from the sound of some of the earlier albums.

kaiser SET say Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I used to go see Maceo play at Katz's in Austin all the time! Richard, maybe we can barter my entire collection of Maceo material[] I would love to here him coming through those 402's[] Guess I could always drive them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyhambone Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 i once saw maceo play for 4 hours and 15 minutes without a break. after 3 hours he came out into the crowd (small venue 100-200 folks), he laughed in our faces and told us we looked tired. he then went on an hour and fifteen minute tear. i had a friend that was recording the show. he only brought 3 hours worth of recording space. he couldn't believe he missed so much of the show. as i left covered in sweat from shakin what my momma gave me, i spied the club owner standing close to the exit. i jokingly asked him if i could get my money back. it was a great evening. fred wesley joined him for most of the set.
