I dig what your saying,but we should still celebrate this great artist’s exploration of different musical styles and appreciate it for what it is.

This is a JAZZ song tho! Not blues at all! I really didnt dig it when Taj spaced out on this shit! so sorry….Natchl Blues is by far his best work and he never came close after Jesse Davis died…..

Great song – you can’t go wrong with any Horace Silver composition, it’s one of the laws of the universe! Great performance by a genuine genius in world where that compliment is too freely given. Taj is not only abundantly talented, he is an amazing innovator too. And big respect to the creator of this video!

Listening to Taj Mahal brings back warm and fuzzy feelings. My dad (RIP) played his jazz albums on Sunday afternoons. lol… jazz along with ice cream and pound cake ; )

Horace Silver’s original version is good, but i love the lyrics Taj ads into the mix. I love the base line. I don’t think there’s another base line in any other song that sounds like this one.

It gives me chills!
