Jefferson Airplane On Track: Every Album, Every Song by Richard Butterworth Pape

Description: Jefferson Airplane On Track by Richard Butterworth Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Jefferson Airplanes classic lineup – one ex-model, two ex-folkies, one ex-jazzer and two ex-D.C. guitarslingers – crafted music that was at once powerful, innovative and beautiful. A musical and social force of nature, Airplane mirrored the psychedelic dream, burning higher, fiercer and brighter than any of their contemporaries. Publisher Description Jefferson Airplane are among the few rock groups genuinely to qualify as unique, although they were not the only exemplar of the 1960s San Francisco sound: the Grateful Dead could equally claim to be the Summer of Loves house band. Comprising mainly vocal harmonies, two guitars, bass and drums, Airplane boasted no unusual instrumentation. The bands music was superficially derivative of many of their predecessors. They drew on the folk traditions of the Weavers and Pete Seeger; of legendary bluesmen Gary Davis and BB King; of soul giant Otis Redding; improvisatory masters from Miles Davis to Cream and even literary visionaries such as James Joyce and Lewis Carroll. Airplane shaped these influences into a single entity of one ex-model, two ex-folkies, one ex-jazzer and two ex-DC guitar slingers, setting them in Haight-Ashburys dreamily LSD-drenched hippie heartland in 1966, then watching them burn fierce and bright before their decline with the death of that psychedelic dream. More than any other, the band and their recorded output were synonymous with the birth and death of the hippie era. his is the only work on Jefferson Airplane to combine a concise history of this magnificent ensemble incisive, entertaining reviews of its entire recorded canon.

Following ten years in graphic art, he took to competitive cycling before discovering that a prerequisite to winning races involved the ability to stay upright. Bruised in body if not in mind, he took up freelance copywriting.

Today, still writing about music, Richard lives in Cornwall, UK with his partner Sue, two golden retrievers, a dusty tenor saxophone and far too many Airplane bootlegs.
