This is a celebration of the Experience formed in 1966, not disregarding his band however focus on the point - The Experience were the original. It was the period in which Jimi played and recorded a style of music which was not the same as what he came out with post-Experience/mid 1969 with Buddy Miles, Billy Cox etc. A true Hendrix fan tells the difference in the style of music he performed with The Experience and what he did in the last 2 years or so of his life, both very great though.

Michael Jeffries was responsible for the virtually worthless contracts that Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding signed in 1966, cutting them out of record royalties. Then Jeffries paid them a meager salary, misappropriating most of their concert wages through offshore holding companies (Yameta Trust Company) in the Bahamas, where only Jeffries had access to numbered bank accounts. Jeffries learned the ropes good in stealing royalties and concert cash when he managed The Animals. He also deposited their earnings in Bahamian bank accounts that most of the band never saw.
