Review

Five-time Grammy-nominated jazz flutist/saxophonist Paul Horn is a founding father of world and New Age music, and this disc features two of the most popular titles in the genres. Inside the Taj Mahal I was recorded inside the impressive and enigmatic world wonder in 1968, and Horn's fluid flute and snaky soprano sax lines resonate with a spectral spiritual reverb and echo that reaches right into the human soul. Horn's tantric tones are augmented by ancient Hindu-inspired chants on "Jumna," "Mumtaz Mahal," and "Vibrations." His follow-up, Inside the Taj Mahal II, was recorded in 1988 and expands the sonic spirituality of the first recording. The "Taj Mahal Suite," a 17-part work, features more jazz-like improvisations bathed in India's millennia-old traditions. With these projects, Horn put Indian music out of the realm of the musical anthropologist and into the minds and hearts of millions of music lovers around the world. --Eugene Holley, Jr.
