5th Annual Maceo Parker Funky New Year at SFJAZZ Center with opening act Deva Mahal, the daughter of legendary blues artist Taj Mahal.

Ring in the New Year with the king of the funky saxophone and one of the primary architects of modern R&B, Maceo Parker. He has led a legendary career, performing with soul legend James Brown and on landmark funk recordings with George Clinton. Maceo made his mark as an essential voice in the powerhouse horns backing James Brown, contributing classic funk solos on some of the Godfather’s iconic hits. He went on to join George Clinton’s moveable funk feast in Parliament/Funkadelic during the ensemble’s most creative era.
