Comment
Janis Joplin was taped in 1963 & 1965 with Dick Oxtot's jazz bands in the San Francisco area. The dates, locations and personnel of the Oxtot-Joplin sessions have only recently come into focus. They were possibly taped at various locations: Oxtot’s Berkeley home, a bar in San Francisco, or Berkeley radio station KPFA-FM.
