The list of special guests who appear on Taj Mahal's Maestro is hardly what one would expect from a veteran bluesman. Among the special guests are {|Ziggy Marley|}, {|Los Lobos|}, {|Ben Harper|}, and African pop vocalist Angélique Kidjo -- not exactly a conventional blues lineup. But then, Mahal is hardly a conventional blues artist. He has been providing eclectic, far-reaching albums for a long time, and that spirit of adventure is alive and well on this 2008 release (which marks his 40th year as a recording artist -- Mahal provided his first album in 1968). No one expects Mahal's albums to be the work of a blues purist; in fact, Mahal (who plays guitar, harmonica, banjo, and ukulele on Maestro) is the opposite of a blues purist. While Maestro has its share of electric blues, the veteran singer also gets into everything from soul (Further on Down the Road) and early R&B ({|Fats Domino|}'s Hello Josephine) to reggae (Black Man, Brown Man, Never Let You Go) and African pop (Zanzibar). The latter features Kidjo on lead vocals and {|Toumani Diabaté|} on the kora (a traditional African instrument), while Los Lobos appear on Never Let You Go and the humorous TV Mama (which is among the disc's straight-ahead blues offerings). Mahal, true to form, is all over the place stylistically on this 57-minute CD -- and yet, Maestro never sounds the least bit unfocused. Being eclectic comes naturally to Mahal, who sees to it that {|Maestro|} is a consistently engaging celebration of his 40th year as a recording artist.

Vier Jahrzehnte Blues, Roots, Reggae und mehr zelebriert Taj Mahal auf seinem brandneuen Album, und die Gratulanten erschienen zahlreich: Angelique Kidjo, Ben Harper, Ziggy Marley und Jack Johnson veredeln die JubilÃEURumsgala. Lustvoll mixt der mit allen Genres der Black Music bestens vertraute KÃŒnstler Originalmaterial mit bekannten Klassikern, wie Bo Diddleys 'Diddy Wah Diddy' und Fats Dominos 'Hello Josephine'. Meine neue CD ist tanzbar, ist hörenswert, wartet mit vielen unterschiedlichen Rhythmen auf und verbreitet jede Menge Fun, erklÃEURrt Taj, der auf vier Tracks auch die Reunion mit seiner Phantom Blues Band vermelden kann. Mit seiner Tochter Deva Mahal und den Latin Rockern Los Lobos stimmt Taj das Reggae-StÃŒck 'Never Let You Go' an, mit Ben Harper teilt er sich den Soul-Track 'Dust Me Down' und Ben Johnson klinkt sich in seinen bekannten Titel 'Further On Down The Road' ein. Maestro markiert den Beginn eines neuen Kapitels, das mich zu noch mehr musikalischen Ausdrucksmitteln fÃŒhrt. Taj Mahal versteht es, sich auch nach vierzig Jahren wieder neu zu erfinden. quelle amazon Blues Musik Musik>Jazz & Blues >Blues, In-Akustik<
