- had the opportunity to spend a little time talking w/ legendary bass player Jack Casady. Jack had such an influential role in Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna among others. Jack speaks here about his career .. the importance of music in his life .. his lifelong friendship w/ Jorma .. and the custom acoustic bass he helped design w/ guitar designer extraordinaire, Tom Ribbecke and was named after his late wife Diana
He's such a cool guy and graciously shares both his wisdom and his wit

Thank you Scott and Mr. Casady for such a humbling and beautiful interaction…I am touched and better for having watched this. Be well Sirs!
We're lucky to have been around following Jack and his music; it's an honor and a pleasure!
Never thought to see such an emotional side to Jack...and it's very touching. He was always among my very favorite bassists and had SUCH a personal, powerful sound you always could tell it was him. Ditto his approach to the music itself. A brilliant guy who seems like a very good guy as well. So sorry about his wife.
Jack Casady is CLASS PERSONIFIED !!
I've greatly admired and have been a fan of Jack Casady for more than 50 years. Being a native of San Francisco I luckily immersed myself in the SF music scene, having always been a lover of the electric guitar. In April of '67 I saw the Airplane for the first time and was blown away by Jack's bass. And I still am. He's a genius.
Donald Gehre Agree.
Jack is a wonderful man. I wanted to heard him do something on that awesome bass.
"J C is great!"..."I just purchased his bass and it's awesome!
Great to hear this interview.
Thank you Mr. Phelan for your thoughtful questions and for allowing plenty of space for Mr. Casady to speak. I've seen interviews aplenty where the host doesn't really listen, interrupts the musician to ask a prepared question or something based on an assumption, putting the guest almost in a defensive situation. This was fine, and much appreciated.
I was an Airplane "groupie"....went to all there concerts in So. Calif. in 60's...Kaleidoscope ,,the Shrine..Got a photo with Grace backstage.........
We used to stand outside Winterland and listen to Jack jamming with whoever. What a talent and gentleman.
Thanks for posting this interview. Very articulate. Listened to Oteil Burbridge interview tonight and now this and I’ve never heard Jack say so much. What can one say about Jack Cassidy? The best.
Hes very articulate and intelligent aside from being one of the best bass players of all time. I can tell he has a tremendous love for his late wife. I can relate as I lost my wife in 2008... way too young
thanks Rick ... he’s a really cool guy .. really funny ... and absolutely one of the very best bass players ever ...
I’m so sorry for your loss ...
@@scottnoconditions I've always admired his playing and work especially with Jorma. Those guys are real musicians and I'm going to see them live next month. Thanks
Happy 75th Birthday Jack Casady
Only 1 Captain Jack !!
A beautiful person
yes … a genius and a gentleman …. one cool dude !!
Hot Tuna came to the Free State of Kansas the other night (12/12/2018), where they performed at Liberty Hall in Lawrence. I first saw them open for Jefferson Airplane in 1971 in KansasCity, KS. Jorma and Jack are still fabulous musicians, and represent the cause "liberty and justice for all" admirably. Right on, guys!
At 13 mins., when he talks about playing within the song, exploring but within the melody, and then, later, how stellar lyrics, great lyrics and song, inspire the quality of the notes, the playing . . . And, on a different level, his reverence for his deceased wife, speechless. Among other things not explored, Casady was called to England at one point in his career to play with Hendrix, by Hendrix--that's the type of reputation he had. Thanks!
thanks Greg ... appreciate the kind words and your attention to detail ... SUBSCRIBE to my channel there’s more there .. and much more on it’s way !!
RIP Diana 💕
Articulation is this man's love in life. Thank you so very much
What can you say about Jack Casady but that he is the best plus he's humble about it! A true musical pioneer, virtuoso and seemingly a good human being!
Keep up the good work, Jack.
That is a beautiful instrument he has. The closest I ever got to seeing the Airplane was seeing Hot Tuna in the eighty's. I've always loved Jack's approach to bass playing. We're losing all these great musicians one at a time whose music & art have certainly influenced my life. Nothing lasts forever but thanks for the memories.
Bruce Caldwell Saw the Plane twice 2 days in a row May ‘68. First night at the Fillmore in NYC changed me.
Another Good one! These w/Jack &/or Jorma are great! Thanks
thanks Chris ... it’s a joy to talk w/ both ... these men are legends and there won’t be others like them .. more than just great musicians they are the epitome of CLASS !!
from the roots of a friendship grows a great tree!
What an interview! Jack is a great bass player and really well spoken
Wonderful interview with one of the great bassists out there. Thank for the inspiration.
Damn it Jack!!! You sing my brother, you sing
Saw Jack's first concert with the Airplane in Berkeley in 1965. Still have the poster showing the first bassist. Bob Harvey.. Jack was the best bass in the SF scene. Also saw an early pre-Hot Tuna concert at the Bear's Lair also on campus 1968 or so. First bass player that made rock really soar.
Thank you for this. It is so wonderful.
Great interview Scott! Love when you said: "You guys are playing better than ever" and Jack said: 'Well, you're supposed to"! LOL, Just great.
thanks man ... I must say he had me going w/ that answer too !!!
Very nice talk!
I’m a guitarist but Jack’s playing made me stop to listen to bass lines on records. His playing on Somebody To Love is incredible.
Great interview! I disagree, Jack, you ARE a great songwriter! Dream Factor was an awesome album and I'd love to hear you play that live!
Love Him sooo much
Thanks Steven ... me too ... there’s only 1 Jack !!
Loved this interview.. Jack is a musical genius and such a nice soft spoken man. I must meet him someday, he's a hero
18:12 eheheh
Was this filmed next to an industrial air conditioner compressor?? Lmao the Jorma interview is in a treated room 😂 🤘 ✌️
That bass has a beautiful and "natural" tone so I'm getting used to the bulk of an accoustic bass look. Hot Tuna, mainly just accoustic and bass guitar was unusual but Jack was The Band playing behind and With the lead guitar which carried it through.
Personally he seems like his music, intelligent and "natural".
Great one Scott ! One complaint, too short ! I know Jack had to go, have him back on the roof, MAYBE TOGETHER WITH JORMA !
Thanks Pete ... that would be the plan .. they’re both brilliant and generous with their abundant experience
This is amazing! What's your intro song btw?
What kind of bass is Jack playing?
Custom bass guitar 🎸 ✨️ it's kinda like a Custom surfboard , ,
