Jefferson Airplane, the iconic band of 1960s Californian acid rock, emerged as a prominent force alongside the Grateful Dead during the Summer of Love. While their instrumentation was conventional, consisting mainly of vocal harmonies, guitars, bass, and drums, the band drew upon a diverse range of influences. These included folk traditions from The Weavers, legendary bluesmen Gary Davis and B.B. King, improvisational masters from Miles Davis to Cream, as well as literary visionaries such as James Joyce and Isaac Asimov.
However, what set Jefferson Airplane apart was their ability to fuse these diverse influences in the creative furnace of San Francisco between 1966 and 1970. Their classic lineup, consisting of one ex-model, two ex-folkies, one ex-jazzer, and two ex-D.C. guitarslingers, crafted music that was powerful, innovative, and beautiful. Birthed in the vibrant hippie heartland of Haight-Ashbury, the band was deeply wedded to their environment, winning international acclaim with two anthemic hit singles while impishly prodding the morés of middle America.
As a musical and social force of nature, Jefferson Airplane mirrored the psychedelic dream, burning higher, fiercer, and brighter than any of their contemporaries. Their music encompassed a fusion of rock, folk, jazz, and blues, creating a unique sound that resonated with audiences worldwide. This accessible book provides a concise history of the band and their milieu, complemented by comprehensive and entertaining reviews of all their recordings. It serves as the ultimate guide for fans and music enthusiasts seeking to delve deeper into the legacy of Jefferson Airplane.
