For all you Welsh and West Country fans Maceo Parker is playing Brecon Jazz festival 12-14 August

Cool - its a beautiful place and a great festival, they also have lots of local food and drink stalls, I remember getting a bit sloshed on local cider when I went to the 2009 festival LOL

Something feels very wrong about having Maceo in the associated artists category knowing how much of a part of James Brown's sound he was and how much of an influence he and Fred Wesley's horn arrangements influenced Prince's music. Yeah, I know he played with Prince for a bit but...it just feels wrong.
