Maceo Parker

The famed Funk saxophonist enlists a disparate group of other famous folks to help him along on this 2000 release. Prince, James Taylor, Ani DiFranco and Sheryl Crow jump on board to aid in tracks that run from lite-jazz, hip-hop and (unsurprisingly) all-out Funk explosions. Despite a host of well-known cover versions on the album, the best tracks are Parker's originals.
