Taj Mahal Trio

Composer,
multi-instrumentalist and two-time Grammy winner Taj Mahal is one of the most
prominent and influential figures in late 20^th century blues and
roots music. A self-taught musician, Taj plays more than 20 instruments,
including the National Steel and Dobro guitars. His remarkable voice ranges
from gruff and gravelly to smooth and sultry. Though his career began more than
four decades ago with American blues, he has broadened his artistic scope over
the years to include music representing virtually every corner of the world –
west Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, the Hawaiian islands and so
much more. What ties it all together is his insatiable interest in musical
discovery. Over the years, his passion and curiosity have led him around the
world, and the resulting global perspective is reflected in his music. The Taj Mahal Trio is: Taj on
guitar, piano and banjo; Bill Rich on bass; Kester Smith on drums. Rolling
Stone Magazine wrote of Taj Mahal: “One of the enduring figures in American
blues.”
