May Featured Artist Taj Mahal

May 12/14

This week at the Crossroads, it’s music from May featured artist Taj Mahal who turns 75 this month.

In this show, we’ll hear music from one of his classic ‘70s albums, Music Fuh Ya, as a special guest with soul jazz organ great Jimmy Smith, from his Hawaii-inspired Hula Blues Band lineup, and from the new album with Keb’ Mo’  – plus a House of Blues Taj Mahal Special in hour two of the show.

Also the latest from the Big Head Blues Club (with a tribute to Willie Dixon), John Mayall, and the Hot 8 Brass Band.

Chris Heim produces and hosts Global Village, a nationally and internationally distributed world music show; the nightly jazz show Night Train, and Crossroads, KMUW’s twice-weekly blues and R&B show. Chris is also a critic and freelance writer whose work has appeared in the Chicago Tribune, Utne, Global Rhythm, Dirty Linen, and Option, among others.
