Review by Scott Yanow
Altoist Maceo Parker has spent most of his career in R&B funk bands, most notably those led by James Brown, George Clinton, and Bootsy Collins. This CD gave him a chance to stretch out as a leader, and his soulful horn immediately brings to mind Hank Crawford and (to a lesser extent) Lou Donaldson. With a strong backup group that includes Pee Wee Ellis on tenor, trombonist Fred Wesley, and Don Pullen on organ, Parker enthusiastically plays over infectious grooves with just one funky departure ("In Time"). Roots Revisited is a throwback to the 1960s soul-jazz style and Maceo Parker gives one the impression that, if called upon, he could hold his own on a bebop date.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El contralto Maceo Parker ha pasado la mayor parte de su carrera en bandas de R&B funk, sobre todo las lideradas por James Brown, George Clinton y Bootsy Collins. Este CD le ha dado la oportunidad de convertirse en líder, y su conmovedora trompa nos recuerda inmediatamente a Hank Crawford y (en menor medida) a Lou Donaldson. Con un sólido grupo de acompañamiento que incluye a Pee Wee Ellis al tenor, al trombonista Fred Wesley y a Don Pullen al órgano, Parker toca con entusiasmo sobre ritmos contagiosos con sólo una desviación funky («In Time»). Roots Revisited es un retroceso al estilo soul-jazz de los años 60 y Maceo Parker da la impresión de que, si se le pidiera, podría mantenerse en una cita con el bebop.
