Taj Mahal (born May 17, 1942) is the stage and recording name of American Grammy Award-winning blues musician Henry Saint Clair Fredericks, hailing from Harlem, New York, U.S.
Strongly influenced by his gospel singing mother and jazz musician and composing father – who Ella Fitzgerald had referred to as “The Genius” – Fredericks was exposed to a genre-spanning collection of music from a young age. Despite being a talented and devoted farmer the bluesman decided to pursue his music career and moved to Santa Monica, California, U.S. and formed the band Rising Sons alongside Ry Cooder and Jessie Lee Kincaid. The band signed with Columbia Records however proved to be commercially unviable so Fredericks went solo. In 1968 Taj Mahal released his eponymous debut album, introducing the musician’s stripped back traditional brand of blues.
It wasn’t long before the album became a classic and paved the way for “Natch’l Blues” also in 1968 and “Giant Step/De Ole Folks at Home” in 1969. With these successes Fredericks was afforded the luxuries of working with some of the most prominent rock and blues artists, including the Rolling Stones. The ’70s represented Mahal experimenting with Caribbean themes and rhythms with “Happy Just to Be Like I Am” in 1971 and the brass-induced double live album “The Real Thing” in 1972.
After moving to Warner Bros. in 1976 and releasing the albums “Music Fuh Ya’” (1976), the soundtrack album “Brothers” (1977), and “Evolution” (1977), Fredericks moved to Hawaii to explore the island's musical tradition. After a ten-year hiatus from recording, the iconic bluesman returned with the album “Taj” in 1987, and a string of acclaimed children’s albums alongside Shake Sugaree followed. After earning a Grammy nomination in 1991 for scoring the play “Mule Bone”, Fredericks returned to his extensive recording and touring schedule on the Private Music label.
Throughout the ‘90s the blues musician covered more musical ground drifting into rock, pop, and R&B with the albums “Like Never Before” in 1991, “Dancing the Blues” in 1993, “Phantom Blues” in 1996, and the Grammy Award-winning “Señor Blues” in 1997. Fredericks subsequently collaborated with classical indian musicians to craft “Mumtaz Mahal” in 1995, and released the Hawaiian themed album “Kulunjan” in 1999. With an all-star list of guest including Ziggy Marley, Jack Johnson and Ben Harper, “Maestro” was issued in 2008, followed by the Christmas album, "Talkin' Christmas" with the Blind Boys of Alabama in 2014.
Leia maisBest concert I've seen lately. Great engagement with the audience and awesome energy from the band. Taj played at least 4 instruments and was in great voice. Although confined to a chair for the performance, he connected with the crowd as he shuffled and danced on and off the stage, we loved it! Keb played flawless guitar and was in fine voice as well but acknowledged his affection for Taj during his introduction of the legend. He said "without this man I'd still be playing the Pied Piper in Compton". One of the highlights for me was hearing "She caught the Katy" sung by the master. Electric. Solid set, solid band. If you go, watch for Taj daughters in backup singer roles. Obvious they inherited their father's stage presence as they danced and mugged in the background, not distracting, just part of the show. Special call out to the opener Jontavious Willis. The 21 year old college student from Georgia, praised as the next thing in blues by Taj himself, played an impressive 45 minute set, all alone, sitting in a chair with his guitar. Had the audience in the palm of his hand from the first song. Highlight was him creating a killer blues original from a shout out in the audience. Do yourself a favor, go see TajMo.
When I was a young boy, my father was really into old blues music. One day when I was still a young child he introduce me to a blues musician called Taj Mahal. I didnt know it then, but as I got older into my teenage years Taj Mahal become one of my favorite musicians and greatly influenced how I approached life.
So it only made sense that I could honor my father and Taj by seeing him live in concert right? My buddy helped me find his tour dates and we split the tickets to go see him. Well the day finally arrived and we got to the House of Blues where he was performing. It wasn't too crowded and the stage was nicely light. He took the stage and began playing songs off his 1991 album Mule Bones.
Seeing him live I discovered he played a wide array of instruments including guitar, banjo, piano and harmonica, and increased my respect for him more. The man is so talented on a guitar, he makes playing it look so effortless and has such a wonderful voice as well. It was definitely a treat to see him live and really understand how talented this man is.
Although blues musician Taj Mahal, real name Henry Saint Clair Fredericks is fast approaching his 75th birthday you cannot deny the energetic manner is which he performs his live show. There is a huge sense of importance when he performs older tracks and he knows how much resonance they hold with the audience gathered here tonight.
Therefore there is a huge sincerity in the way in which Taj delivers the classics such as 'Lovin' in My Baby's Eyes' and 'Queen Bee'. There is also a fantastic sense of fun involved throughout as so much of his music has a fantastically upbeat tempo which you can really tap your feet along to. The audience claps the musicians along intently as they perform aptly bluesy instrumentals during a cover of 'Blues With a Feeling' by Rabon Tarrant. The man himself has such a warm, exciting personality and has a really natural interaction with his fans that only comes with so many years on the circuit. There is no doubt that should his health allow it, he will continue to tour for years to come.
I saw the Taj Mahal Trio at the SF Jazz center this evening. I'd listened to his music for years but this is the first time I have seen him live. Most enjoyable. He played a number of songs he is known for. He played a number of instruments. All quite entertaining and the audience seemed to quite enjoy the performance.
Excellent show, the atmosphere was great!very happy with the seats and the full show! His daughters are extremely talented and fun to watch as well!
Thank you for coming to seattle!
Taj and Keb were Great! The venue was a great little place to see them. The opening act Guy Davis was also good. I am glad I went to this show!
