Life on Planet Groove is a live album by Maceo Parker, released in 1992.[7] It was recorded in concert at the club Stadtgarten in Cologne, Germany.
The album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart.[8]
Entertainment Weekly wrote that the "live session’s gracefully fermented, pre-hip-hop mode of funk-making hits home."[5] The Calgary Herald thought that "with Maceo, Life On Planet Groove is a carefree existence where spirits are imbued with physical jive, bodies do the 'mashed potato' and ears revel in generous amounts of harmonious horns, slathered with Motown vocals and topped with psychedelic bass."[3]
