Jorma released ‘Typewriter Tapes,’ a 1964 restored and remastered recording of Jorma on guitar and Janis Joplin on vocals.

For decades, this recording was the stuff of legend, with inferior, multi-generational transfers making their way through select collector’s circles.

Jorma is perhaps the most unassuming rock icon I’ve ever interviewed. Not only did The Jefferson Airplane bring psychedelic music of the ’60s to a wider audience than The Grateful Dead scored for more than a decade to come, but Jorma’s work with Hot Tuna opened a door to folk fans that Dylan had first explored when he went electric.
