Taj Mahal,Jesse ED Davis/CA,USA 1969 & 1971

This is an early live recording of Taj Mahal, who is active in a wide range of world music fields such as Hawaii and Africa. At this time, there wasn’t much of a world vibe, and they were playing tight blues rock. The big draw is Jesse Edwin Davis, the lead guitarist of native descent who was active as his right-hand man at the time. He was also a supporter at George Harrison’s Bangladesh concert. He was the one who played the Telecaster next to Taji in the Stones’ “Rock and Roll Circus.” There is also a rumor that the guitar solo from “Statesboro Blues,” which is also played here, was inspired by the legendary Duane Allman. In addition to Taji’s wild and percussive vocals, Jesse Ed’s guitar is a must-listen. It’s a sound board and the sound quality is good, so it’s an item that you should definitely enjoy playing Jesse Ed’s guitar. This is the second Fillmore live collection released by the same label, so it is a must-have along with the first.
