Biographie des JB's:
" Maceo Parker joined James Brown's
fabled band in 1964, Alfred "Pee Wee" Ellis joined the fold
two years later, and Fred Wesley came on board in 1968.
Ellis co-wrote such classics as "Cold Sweat" and "Say It
Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud," and both he and Wesley
at various points were musical director of the JB's. Parker
was immortalized in Brown's famous incantation "Maceo, come
blow your horn." Ellis also served as musical director for
Van Morrison, while Wesley and Parker were part of the Parliament/Funkadelic
gang at their peak in the mid- and late '70s. The three
of them have recorded in various permutations as Maceo and
All the King's Men, Maceo and the Macks, the JB's, Fred
Wesley and the New JB's, Fred Wesley and the Horny Horns,
the John Book Horns, and simply under any one of their individual
names. In the '80s and early '90s, with the resurgence of
interest in James Brown and Parliament/Funkadelic, the three
horn men have been involved in a plethora of recordings.
(Note: All of the albums made by Parker, Ellis, and Wesley
in their various permutations have been included here; the
artist credited with the album appears at the end of the
review.) -- Rob Bowman, All Music Guide "
