Around early 1974 Tutt began recording and touring with the Jerry Garcia Band, and also Jerry Garcia's and Merl Saunders' brief Legion of Mary (band).[2][3] Starting with Garcia's studio album Compliments (1974), Tutt played drums for the Jerry Garcia Band for four years before moving on. During this time, Tutt also played drums on Garcia's studio albums Reflections (1976), and Cats Under The Stars (1978).[citation needed] In 1982, however, Tutt returned to the studio with Jerry Garcia to help record Run For the Roses.[citation needed]
