Famed as James Brown’s first lieutenant in the Sixties, Maceo Park remains a force synonymous with the origins of funk. The North Carolina sax deity, 75, sealed his status throughout the Seventies with Parliament-Funkadelic and bassist Bootsy Collins. During the early Nineties, he finally came into his own as a solo artist with career-solidifying releases like Mo’ Roots in 1991 and Southern Exposure two years later.
