Janis Joplin was an iconic American singer-songwriter known for her powerful and soulful voice. Born in 1943, she rose to fame in the late 1960s as the lead vocalist of the band Big Brother and the Holding Company. Joplin's raw and emotional performances made her a symbol of counterculture and female empowerment. With hits like "Piece of My Heart" and "Me and Bobby McGee," she left an indelible mark on rock music. Tragically, Joplin passed away at the age of 27, but her legacy as one of the greatest voices in rock history lives on.

Jorma Kaukonen (later of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna) met a singer named Janis Joplin at a hootenanny in San Jose, California, in the fall of 1962. Over the following years, Janis would call on Jorma to accompany her at gigs. As they continued to play together, the Bay Area was changing musically and developing into the legendary San Francisco scene to which both Janis and Jorma would be integral. During a rehearsal for a show in North Beach, Jorma started his reel-to-reel machine to capture what they were working on. For decades, this recording was the stuff of legend, with inferior, multi-generational transfers making their way through select collector’s circles. Now, for the very first time, it is available officially, with the blessing and cooperation of both the Janis Joplin Estate and Jorma Kaukonen.
