  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Jack Casady
Jack Casady (born John William Casady, April 13, 1944), is an American musician considered one of the foremost bass guitarists of the rock music era.
Casady adjusted his bass and amplifier for a bigger and more luxurious tone, and as a song's performance developed, stepped beyond the conventional rhythmic supporting-the-chords role of rock and roll, in order to explore other possible melodic ideas offered by the rhythm and chord progressions.

Casady adjusted his bass and amplifier for a bigger and more luxurious tone, and as a song's performance developed, stepped beyond the conventional rhythmic and chord-supporting role of rock & roll, in order to explore other possible melodic ideas offered by the rhythm and chord progressions.
Casady's appetite for playing led him to do some serious moonlighting during his Airplane tenure; he played bass on sessions for Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland album of 1968; his work appears on the track "Voodoo Chile," however some copies of Electric Ladyland misspell his name, inadvertently assigning credit to actor Jack Cassidy.
In recent years, Casady has had a change of philosophy about the role the bass should play in presenting a song, and though he continues to play melodically, he now prefers to play in support of a song rather than to use a song as a platform for demonstrating his virtuosity of his instrument.

 The Jefferson Airplane
The players include Casady, Covington, Creach; both Jorma and his brother Peter; a very young Craig Chaquico; Garcia, Crosby and Nash; and the Tower of Power horn section.
Casady's barely recognizable in the zillion track mix, and the small thrill of hearing Kantner and Balin harmonize hardly makes up for the rest.
Plus Casady is almost inaudible again, and there's even a really nauseating donated love song by (blech) Toto members David Paich and Steve Porcaro ("True Love"; Mike Porcaro also appears).

 Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Dream Factor, Jack Casady, CD
Bass player extraordinaire Jack Casady has added his uniquely fat tone and endlessly inventive technique to dozens of remarkable and influential recordings over the last 40 years, first with San Francisco's psychedelic bellwether, Jefferson Airplane, and later as a member of blues band Hot Tuna, in both their acoustic and electric incarnations.
Not a solo album in the traditional sense -- the famously reticent Casady is neither singer nor lyricist and only reluctantly steps into the spotlight -- Dream Factor employs a battery of musicians, songwriters, and vocalists to flesh out and add texture to this collection of original country, rock, and blues tunes.
Casady pulls out all the stops on "Outside," a rollicking stew of stuttering time changes, false endings, and groaning feedback, set against Warren Haynes's feathery lead guitar.

 Jack Casady
My Casady experience now dovetails with the above: Jack's impact on me as a young, beginning player was profound, for reasons difficult to explain, as much now as then.
And, while Jack's influence had continued to enrich and spice my own playing, it had gradually been subsumed, becoming less overt, less a discreet collection of ideas, more a component of a mature synthesis of multiple styles under the control of a (hopefully) original mind.
Although my responses to Casady so many years ago are still fresh, I think it fair to say my musical sophistication has grown in the interem.
