| It was a great opprtunity to see the legendary Taj Mahal at the Brooklyn Museum. I had never been able to see him and could not believe my luck when I found out he was playing right in my backyard. I live withing walking distance from the museum, am a member and love that auditorium. It could not have been better! And, Taj was awesome! I finally fulfilled one of my dreams thanks to you. I encourage you to plan more events like these. |

| Taj Mahal with the tuba band was phenomenal. The venue was great, and easy to get to. I was hungry when I arrived, coming straight from work, and there wasn't any food available. I guess that I assumed there would be something either in the venue, or within sight of the subway. I would also have enjoyed a beer or a glass of wine.
Please bring more artists like Taj Mahal to Brooklyn.
Many Thanks,

| The Great Taj Mahal reunited with Howard Johnson and company (4 tubas!) to play many of the songs that exist on Taj Mahal's Fillmore Live record from 1971. The music was great but the environment was a little stiff. The projected Brooklyn Conservatory banner behind the musicians looked square. A lighting director was seriously missed. With such great talent on stage there needed to be swirling colors and moods to compliment this legendary musical reunion. Also, it would have been nice if the Brooklyn Museum were to offer some concessions i.e. wine, beer, soda, water. This is jazz/blue/folk/rock not something stuffy... |

| Wonderful concert by the master musician Taj Mahal with the reunion of his 4 tuba band that made musical history back in 1971. It was a joyous memorable affair. The concert was very well-run, good sound system and a beautiful auditorium. |

| Taj Mahal and Howard Johnson's tuba band reunite 37 years later after performing the live LP recording of the Real Thing. I've seen many concerts and reunions in my life but this was the one you could truly label as THE REAL THING.

| It is not often that one has the opportunity to attend a performance of a Master Musician and consummate performer of the caliber of Taj Mahal. He spanned the entire breadth of his musical interest starting with a series of wonderful solos many blues (my personal favorites) with acoustic guitar, banjo and harmonica accompanying his special voice. He clearly enjoys performing and he treated us to some fine and intricate guitar riffs. He then brought out a “big” band made up of musicians it seemed, he has played with in the past. They must have since it all seemed effortless. There were four horns two electric guitars, keyboard, drums and a percussionist. We were then treated to a fine sampling of his eclectic musical interest, including Blues, Zideco, Jazz, Reggie, gospel and … all presented with an unassuming flow and energy he so gracefully exudes. Taj and his band clearly enjoyed playing and the audience clearly enjoyed listening, and participating. If you get a chance to see a Master like Taj Mahal, don’t miss it. |
