Side Trips, Volume One is a jazz fusion[1] album by Howard Wales and Jerry Garcia.

[2][3] It was released as a two-disc LP in a limited edition of 2,500 copies for Record Store Day in November 2017.

[1][4] In a 1991 interview, Garcia said, "So they used to have this Monday night jam session, but Howard gradually sort of took it over.

'"[5] On AllMusic, William Ruhlmann wrote, "Wales and Garcia are joined by bassist John Kahn and drummer Bill Vitt (both of whom would work extensively in Garcia's non-Dead aggregations) for 65 minutes of free-form playing.

Occasionally, especially when Garcia is playing, it sounds like the Dead in the middle of one of its extended improvisations, except, of course, that the music never returns to a familiar tune.
