HOT TUNA
Formed as a side project by two Jefferson Airplane members, they became a solid blues-rock
unit with a cult following on the jam band circuit. Hot Tuna -- originally dubbed Hot Sh*t,
much to the chagrin of their label, RCA -- first began taking shape in 1969, while both
Casady and Kaukonen were still active members of the Jefferson Airplane; in fact,
their first performances were sandwiched between regular Airplane gigs. As a trio
rounded out by harmonica player Will Scarlet (and occasionally including Airplane
members Marty Balin and Spencer Dryden), Hot Tuna debuted in 1970 with a
low-key self-titled LP of traditional blues and ragtime recorded live
at the New Orleans House in Berkeley

When Hot Tuna's self-titled debut album was released in May 1970, it seemed like the perfect spin-off project for a major
rock group, Jefferson Airplane's lead guitarist and bass player indulging in a genre exercise by playing a set of old
folk-blues tunes in a Berkeley coffeehouse. The music seemed as far removed from the Airplane's acid rock roar
as it did from commercial prospects, and thus, it allowed these sometimes overlooked bandmembers to blow off some
steam musically without threatening their day jobs. In retrospect, however, it's easy to hear that something more was going on.
Friends since their teens, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady had developed a musical rapport that anchored the Airplane
sound but also existed independently of it, and shorn of the rock band arrangements and much of the electricity
(Casady still played an electric bass), their interplay was all the more apparent. Kaukonen remained the
accomplished fingerpicking stylist he had been before joining the Airplane, while Casady dispensed with the usual
timekeeping duties of the bass in favor of extensive contrapuntal soloing, creating a musical conversation
that was unique. It was put at the service of a batch of songs by the likes of the Reverend Gary Davis
and Jelly Roll Morton with the occasional Kaukonen original thrown in, making for a distinct style...(AllMusic)
