{"product_id":"mo-roots","title":"Mo Roots","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThe former JB returned to prominence with this 1991 recording, his second for Verve. Buttressed by old cohorts Pee Wee Ellis on tenor and Fred Wesley on trombone, Parker's alto sounds displays tremendous, intense urgency without leaving the groove behind. The sophisticated funk includes strong elements of jazz and soul as Parker moves from Lionel Hampton and Horace Silver to Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, and Shep \u0026amp; the Limelites. Ray Charles' \"Hallelujah, I Love Her So\" and the traditional \"Down by the Riverside\" display his flair for gospel melodies. Parker combines thoughtful melodic passages with energetic wails, while the rhythm section, anchored by Larry Goldings' B-3, stays in the proverbial pocket. Mo' Roots was instrumental in introducing a new crop of young fans to instrumental funk. --Marc Greilsamer\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0000046K3\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0000046K3.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Parker, Maceo\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
