Conjure: Music For The Texts of Ishmael Reed 1985 Here, Kip Hanrahan using texts from the contemporary author Ishmael Reed, distributes the composing duties to everyone from Lester Bowie to Taj Mahal to Allen Toussaint, mixes a heady instrumental gumbo, and allows things to percolate to a fine boil. The cast of musicians is certainly of all-star quality, but special mention should be made of trumpeter Olu Dara for some heart-rending beautiful playing, Taj Mahal for his wonderful, raspy vocal delivery, and the entire cast of percussionists, astounding in their diversity of attacks. The pieces tend toward relaxed pop forms with vocals and approachable structures but always sporting a sharply honed edge, both in their musical form and in the pointed lyrical observations that are philosophical while retaining street-level grit. Taj 1987 Grammavision From the Universal vibe of “Everybody is Somebody” to the political and environmental message of “Light of the Pacific” and the charm of “Soothin” Taj takes you on a musical adventure as you travel from track to track.

Personnel: Taj Mahal acoustic and electric guitar, bass, percussion, keyboards, lead and background vocals. Shake Sugaree 1988 Music for Little People Taj Mahal leads kids through a musical journey, taking them through the Caribbean, Africa, and the Deep South, telling stories and singing songs all the while. Traditional songs created long ago and sung by families for generations, Taj introduces children to different cultures and the roots of much of today’s popular music. Two songs on the cd were written by remarkable women who helped shape American folk music: Elizabeth Cotton’s granddaughter Janine, wrote Shake Sugaree, Elizabeth played and arranged the definitive version of Shake Sugaree. Etta Baker wrote Railroad Bill. Taj has chosen songs that appeal to a child’s sense of imagination, creativity, and desire to learn.
