I agree with all of these, but don't sell yourself short or be modest Fred.  I've been told you are a master of the skin flute!

I put Parker before Coltrane, but that's just me.

Sax is brass, not woodwind.

Saxes are made of brass, but they are still considered woodwinds because they use reeds.

Wrong Sax has a Reed which makes it a woodwind.

I used to play an Auto and Tenor and they were both considered woodwinds.

Check out the original.

Maceo Parker is the king of funky sax.  Played with James Brown.  Then moved on to George Clintons Parliament/Funkadelic.  Then became Prince's sax man. 

I saw him play with Fred Wesley (trombone) in some funky combo back in the 90's and they absolutely burned the place down.  One of the best live shows I have ever seen.

Very familiar with the original. I've seen P=Funk a number of times. One of the best live bands ever
