Taj Mahal and Keb' Mo' show mutual respect during their performance in Scottsdale, Arizona on June 7, 2017 in support of their excellent collaborative album "TajMo" that was released a month earlier. It won the 2018 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album. Taj Mahal, born Henry St. Claire Fredericks Jr., chose his stage name from dreams he had about Mahatma Gandhi, India, and social tolerance. Kevin Roosevelt Moore's moniker of Keb' Mo' was coined by his original drummer, Quentin Dennard, and picked up by his record label as a "street talk" abbreviation of his given name.
