Dial: M-A-C-E-O is an album by saxophonist Maceo Parker, released in 2000. [4] [5] Many guest musicians appear on the album, including Prince, Paul McCartney, and Ani DiFranco. [6]
The album peaked at No. 44 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart. [7]
Mother Jones wrote that the album "spotlights Maceo’s understated vocals and intricate saxophone licks ... Dial Maceo has the feel of a party." [8] The Guardian wrote: "The modern special guest album is an even more sinister update of the old-fashioned supergroup ... Dial: M.A.C.E.O is by no means the worst of its kind, but it's proof that even the most free-spirited are no longer safe." [6] The Globe and Mail thought that "Parker's sax is candy-floss sweet, and as stylish as a good suit, but it needs more structural support than it gets from his writing." [9]
All tracks composed and arranged by Maceo Parker; except where indicated
