Smooth and sexy jazz sax originals and covers. “Mr. Funky Sax” aptly describes the musical old-school funky, foot-stomping music of Lil Maceo. His powerful music has made him one of the most sought-after saxophonists in the industry. His shows are high-energy, ultimately compelling audience members to get out of their seats and dance.
