Description
Taj Mahal's adaptation of Coloured Aristocracy has always been one of my favorite tunes. To understand it better, and to understand how he created it, I found the sheet music for the original 1890's cakewalk. It turns out that Mahal's tune and the original are quite different.
Anyway, I decided to record both. Hopefully you'll find them as interesting to compare/contrast as I did.
The banjo is a 12" Chuck Lee Glen Rose model, tuned to open Bb.
