They expertly maneuver the music, making it do what it does. Over the years, The Caesar Brothers have toured and recorded with a number of world-class musicians, including but not limited to The Neville Brothers, George Clinton and the Parliament-Funkadelic, Maze, Franky Beverly, The Meters, Tina Marie, and many more.
