Taj Mahal has been playing his own distinctive brand of music since he decided to paint his mailbox blue in Topanga Canyon in the early sixties. It can be described as Afro-Caribbean blues, folk-world-blues, hula blues, folk-funk, and a host of other hyphenations.

What ties it all together is Taj's abiding interest in musical discovery, particularly in tracing many American musical forms back to their roots in Africa and Europe. Following his passion, Taj has spent time in the Caribbean, West Africa, Hawaii, Europe, the South Pacific, Australia, South America, and all over the continental U.S. His music reflects his global perspective, incorporating sounds from everywhere he's lived and traveled.

A self-taught musician, Taj plays more than 20 instruments, including the National Steel and Dobro guitars.
I started photographing Taj in the mid Seventies and have hundreds of great shots of him in concert and portraits as well. He is a one of a kind musician that is profoundly engaging and always puts on a great performance.
