An Evening of Acoustic Music - Double-LP - 2009
The first vinyl edition of Taj Mahal’s legendary Bremen concert from October 1993 is a true piece of art. Not only did the renowned Berlin visual artist Henning Wagenbreth again design the cover. He decided to come up with a new picture for each song, the combination of which constitutes the album sleeve. It is a multi-faceted work of art – to be a collector’s item soon. Especially since this wonderful German visual artist proves how much his work is sparked by his love for African-American culture. With these new paintings, the classic Mahal solo / duo performances – Howard Johnson guests on five tracks – is enriched in a vibrant and meaningful kind of way, adding to a new listening experience. It may be a familiar repertoire but these songs seem to never have sounded better, with the added visual dimension providing fresh energy and a renewed spirit.
