I know it's on cd but this sounds pretty good and my cassette player still manages to do its stuff.

From 1982, so it's post-disco, but it does have an undeniable 80's production sound to it (which is not a bad thing, IMO).  It's a longtime favorite of mine, one of those albums which always make me feel just a little younger again when I play it.  Ernie Watts gets a few brief solo spots on this Quincy Jones produced album, including on a very credible version of "Lush Life", one of the best performances of that tune by a non-jazz singer I have encountered.

A mostly solo concert (Howard Johnson joins in on 5 tracks) from 1993.  At one point, Taj Mahal has to stop the show to teach the German audience how to clap on 2 & 4 instead of 1 & 3, explaining that this is schwarzer musik!
