Prince a Surprise Guest at Celebrate Brooklyn

By NATE CHINEN
Published: June 16, 2006

The new season of Celebrate Brooklyn kicked into high gear last night at the
Prospect Park Bandshell, with crackling backbeats, a tight horn section and
an unannounced special guest: Prince.

The featured artist was Maceo Parker, an alto saxophonist best known for his
long association with James Brown. Prince's cameo came as a surprise
even to Mr. Parker, according to representatives of Brooklyn Information & Culture,the nonprofit organization that sponsors the series.

Mr. Parker fronted his nine-piece band in an energetic, funk-soul set that
lasted roughly an hour and a half. At 9:52 p.m., after what appeared to be the
end of the show, several members of Prince's touring band walked out from
the wings. Then came the artist himself, sharply attired in a white suit, a
black shirt and sunglasses, and clutching a hollow-bodied Gibson guitar.

He played just one number: Get on the Boat the closing track
from his latest album, 3121 (Universal). But the song James Brown
groove suited the occasion, and gave Mr. Parker the chance to recreate his horn arrangement from the album. Prince sang some upbeat lyrics extolling racial harmony, and took a fleeting solo on guitar. Then he struck a dramatic pose, tossed his guitar pick and a white towel into the audience, and strutted off. He had been onstage for exactly seven minutes.

Can't wait to hear this live!!!
