Good one ....

I believe the shift away from the pure Southern Soul focus - to broaden the "customer base" - did the initial damage .... further missteps followed - and the industry changed ....

True .... probably mirroring his importance as composer, arranger and soloist for the combo ....

Technically , not a jazz book, but Spencer Dryden sat in with Shelly Manne and was known to be a jazz drummer, Grace Slick scatted little things and listened to Ella and Sarah, Jack Casady played jazz with Danny Gatton in DC, and liked Mingus and Scott La Faro Jorma did play some early jazz in Hot Tuna, and Marty Balin was more into R&B than rock. Papa John Creach worked with Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, and Nat Cole in some movie. I'm reading "Got a Revolution!: The Turbulent Flight of Jefferson Airplane" by Jeff Tamarkin. There are many times when they practiced free improvisation on their records and performing live, too. They were busted many times for drug possession but never spent a day in jail. They all got into harder stuff than pot and LSD, but didn't die young like all their SF friends. Grace Slick performed on nationwide TV in blackface, survived a drunken car accident at 150 MPH, lived with every member of the band except Jack Casady (they never liked each other), and  told the audience once that they would never be able to afford things like limousines and shrimp salad like the Airplane did, because they couldn't do anything, and should get off their fat asses and do something. Marty Balin wound up in the hospital after jumping down from the stage at Altamont, and trying to help the Black guy that was murdered by the Hell's Angels ( who were acquitted of all charges). He was the founder of the Airplane and was so sick of them that he left them for three months, and no one even called him, so he decided to call it quits. And so on...
