Biography

US band formed in 1974 following the breakup of [a=Jefferson Airplane]. [a=Jack Casady] and [a=Jorma Kaukonen] left the Airplane to concentrate on their side-project [a=Hot Tuna], the majority of the band ([a=Paul Kantner], [a=Grace Slick], [a=David Freiberg], [a=John Barbata] and [a=Papa John Creach]) formed Jefferson Starship, with the addition of Craig Chaquico on lead guitar and Pete Sears on bass and keyboards. They recorded their first band album, Dragonfly, in 1974. The band name had been used four years earlier for the all-star band - including [a=David Crosby], [a=Graham Nash] and Grateful Dead members [a=Jerry Garcia], [a=Bill Kreutzmann] and [a=Mickey Hart] - backing Kantner on his solo album "Blows Against the Empire," credited to Paul Kantner and Jefferson Starship, but it wasn't until 1974 a real band was bearing the name. From 1974 and on the band has undergone almost endless line-up changes finally leaving the band with only one of its original members, David Freiberg. Grace Slick was let off in 1978, reportedly due to alcoholic misbehaving, but rejoined the band in 1981. Band leader Kantner left the group in 1984, and a settlement prohibiting the use of the band name (unless all original members were in the band) forced it to change its name to just [a=Starship (2)].
