The Dec. 23 edition of Greasy Tracks featured a three-hour spotlight on the legendary Jorma Kaukonen on his 83rd birthday.
Here’s the archive, while a playlist is here.
Renowned for his work as a founding member and guitarist for the Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, Kaukonen recently wrapped up Hot Tuna’s final electric tour with long-time bandmate bassist Jack Casady and drummer Justin Guip.
Although heavily influenced by Rev. Gary Davis — an iconic figure in the blues world that he has championed his entire career — Kaukonen is adept in rock, Americana and folk stylings.
The programwent deep and wide on the Kaukonen catalog and will also included portions of interviews with him from past appearances on Greasy Tracks.
