It was there that he recorded with, Buddy Miles' band and in 1982-84 he toured with David Crosby. In 1984 Slick joined Marty Balin's band which led to him being hired to play lead guitar in the KBC Band.
When Paul Kantner reformed Jefferson Starship in 1992 he hired Slick as the band's lead guitarist, a position that lead to musical director that he held until 2012. He also sometimes performed with Marty Balin as a duo.
In 2016 Slick formed the Airplane Family including Joli Valenti (son of Dino Valenti, Quick Silver Gold), Michael Falzarano (Hot Tuna, New Riders of the Purple Sage), Prairie Prince (co-founder of the Tubes, Todd Rundgren, Jefferson Starship), Peter Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Hot Tuna), Darby Slick (The Great Society, Composer of Somebody to Love), Darby Gould Venegas (Jefferson Starship). As of 2022 his son Mark Aguilar has joined The Airplane Family as well as separate projects the two of them collaborate on.
