The Taj Mahal Sextet's Swingin’ Live at the Church in Tulsa is an extraordinary set recorded live at the Tulsa studio best known as the home base of the late, great Leon Russell, a huge influence and personal friend of Taj. The ten songs reach across multiple genres that he has explored in his incomparable career, and feature “The Taj Mahal Sextet,” which includes Taj’s long-time quartet-bassist Bill Rich, drummer Kester Smith, and guitarist/Hawaiian lap steel player Bobby Ingano-augmented by dobro player Rob Ickes and guitarist and vocalist Trey Hensley.
The first time I saw Taj in 1970, Corrina was the one song I most wanted to hear. Someone yelled it out, and Taj said something like "If you knew me better you'd know I wouldn't leave here tonight without singing Corrina." I was happy to hear that, but a little sad because I was hoping he would save it for an extended encore version. Taj did not disappoint me! And when I saw him in 1971, he was touring with a bigger band including the "tuba chorus" as he called the four brass players. And at the end of the solo set he used to open his shows with, he said that he wanted to make the audience comfortable before bringing them on, so he did an acoustic version of Corrina. Still my favorite, though Queen Bee is right up there too.
A national treasure
Striking that songs from 70's sound with an added texture and urgency. Taj... the master.
This is wonderful! Love the album! Thank you for sharing it. ❤❤❤
❤❤❤ your vibrato is extraordinary ❤
This is wonderful & I have the CD on order, BUT, what is it with members of the audience putting on their phones & recording the event? It's a concert folk, just enjoy the bloody thing live as it is! I saw Dylan in Dublin a while back where the phones were banned and it made such a difference to the gig with no distractions. God, give me patience!
So inconsiderate too, blocking the view of people behind them.
