Mo'Roots is an album by the American saxophonist Maceo Parker, released in 1991.[2] [3] It peaked at No. 4 on Billboards Traditional Jazz Albums chart.[4]
Mo' Roots was produced by Stephan Meyner and Parker.[5] Fred Wesley and Pee Wee Ellis played on the album. "Sister Sadie" is a cover of the Horace Silver song.[6]
The Chicago Tribune determined that "there's enough variety to keep things interesting, but enough clarity of musical direction to make it all hang together and, more important, make Parker feel at home with the material." The Washington Post wrote: "From Dixieland to hard bop to R&B, from Lionel Hampton to Ray Charles to Marvin Gaye to Otis Redding to Maceo himself, it's all here, underscored by an unfussy and decidedly funky rhythm section and enlivened by a now legendary horn triumvirate."[7]
