Το πρώτο σόλο Lp του Jorma Kaukonen κυκλοφόρησε το 1974 και ενώ στο μεταξύ «εργαζόταν» ως Hot Tuna από το Δεκέμβρη του 1968 μαζί με άλλα μέλη των Jefferson Airplane όπως τους Marty Balin, Jack Casady και Joey Covington. O Jorma παρουσιάζει την δική του άποψη για το rock, το blues την folk και το gospel.
Στην συλλογή μου υπάρχουν και μερικές εξαιρέσεις όπως για παράδειγμα με αυτό το Lp που είναι original (μικρής αξίας) σε σχέση με τους κάργα πειρατές που διαθέτω. Όσον αφορά το περιεχόμενο, το πραγματικά αγαπημένο μου κομμάτι είναι το Genesis.
Jorma Kaukonen's first solo album remains one of the crowning achievements in his distinguished musical career. First released in 1974, Quah drew on the same folk and blues influences that powered his Hot Tuna project, but did so with a gentler, more delicate touch. Produced by his Hot Tuna partner Jack Casady, the album mostly features just Jorma and his deft fingerpicking, although three songs feature tasteful string-section overdubs. The opening "Genesis," a poignant ode to his failing marriage (recorded on Valentine's Day), is perhaps his most touching original composition, while another original, "Flying Clouds," is a graceful melody as far from acid rock as one can imagine. There are also two uplifting covers of his biggest influence, Rev. Gary Davis. Originally, Quah was supposed to be a full collaboration with Tom Hobson, whom Jorma describes as a "quirky roots performer." Hobson was apparently too quirky for the suits at RCA, since only two of his contributions survived the original cut; though always considered a bit odd by Jorma fans, Hobson's songs have over time acquired a certain charm. The 2003 reissue adds four unreleased bonus cuts: two Hobson vocals, an instrumental duet, and a solo instrumental by Kaukonen. Those who associate Jorma Kaukonen with more jam-oriented projects may be surprised by just how lovely and enchanting Quah is. --Marc Greilsamer
