JORMA KAUKONEN: A LEGEND IN NO HURRY

A few years back I was lucky enough to be able to chat with Jorma Kaukonen about his new album, Ain't In No Hurry.  His fifty-year career as one of the brightest, most inventive guitarists of his generation has branded him a legend.  From his earliest beginnings playing acoustic-blues, to his ground-breaking time with Jefferson Airplane, to his highly-influential work with Hot Tuna, Kaukonen is quite simply one of the most important guitarists of all-time. His latest album enlarges that legacy and subtly references back to his earliest roots as a musician.

During the course of our conversation Kaukonen, who is originally from Washington D.C. also took time to talk about the influence of the Baltimore bluegrass scene of the 1950s which he looked up to, and was the subject of my first book which I was writing at the time.
