Biography

Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady were part of Jefferson Airplane back in the 60’s, but that was a blip in their musical careers if you ask most Tuna fans.

Their first album was recorded live at Berkeley in 1969. They continued their work with Jefferson Airplane during this project, and even though Jefferson Airplane dissolved, Hot Tuna has continued to tour to this day. Casady is considered by many to be one of the most advanced and innovative in his style.

Their official website is http://hottuna.com and http://hottunatunes.com has music downloads of some of their recent live dates and a few older dates which really capture the spirit of these two very talented musicians.

    Some interesting trivia for anyone who cares: they went to their label with the name Hot Shit but had to change it to Hot Tuna when they were refused the name. In my mind Cassidy is eaily one of the greatest basists of all time, anyone who could follow Jorma's lead that precisely is amazing enough. He played a Winterland session with Hendrix in 69 and blew Jimi's mind, and mine.

    i love hot tuna, even though i'm a veggie... but I think the wiki is a bit unkind to JA, have a listen to 'rock me baby' on bless its pointed little head.. it's proto-tuna!
