This album got its name when James Brown’s saxophone player Maceo Parker and much of Brown’s band at the time resigned and set out on their own. Pure, precision funk, made of interlocking intermeshing musical parts, the ex-JBs function here like a churning groove machine. You get ten tracks, mostly funk instrumentals with occasional vocals and a couple of more introspective jazzy pieces. Maceo’s unique saxophone voice - jittery, unpredictable, angular - does its funky thing and the band locks in and delivers the funk goods every time.
