Interview with Jorma Kaukonen (Hot Tuna, Jefferson Airplane)

[Cincy Groove Magazine]

In a career that has already spanned nearly a half century, Jorma Kaukonen has been the leading practitioner and teacher of fingerstyle guitar, one of the most highly respected interpreters of American roots music, blues, and Americana, and at the forefront of popular rock-and-roll.

He was a founding member of two legendary bands, The Jefferson Airplane and the still-touring Hot Tuna, a Grammy nominee for his highly acclaimed “Blue Country Heart,” and the most in-demand instructor in the galaxy of stars who teach at the guitar camp that he and his wife operate in picturesque Southeastern Ohio, The Fur Peace Ranch.

here is my Interview with Jorma Kaukonen:

I'm a big fan. I fortunately got to see the Airplane at the peak of their career.

I had the pleasure of seeing David Bromberg and Jorma at Westbury Music Fair last year... excellent show!

I found these old photos of Jorma...November 1978 - Palladium.

I thought it would be cool to post.
