James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 - September 18, 1970) was an American rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music".
Born in Seattle, Washington, Hendrix began playing guitar at the age of 15. In 1961, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and trained as a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division; he was granted an honorable discharge the following year. Soon afterward, he moved to Clarksville, Tennessee, and began playing gigs on the Chitlin' Circuit, earning a place in the Isley Brothers' backing band and later with Little Richard, with whom he continued to work through mid-1965. He then played with Curtis Knight and the Squires before moving to England in late 1966 after being discovered by Linda Keith, who in turn interested bassist Chas Chandler of the Animals in becoming his first manager. Within months, Hendrix had earned three UK top ten hits with the Jimi Hendrix Experience: "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze", and "The Wind Cries Mary". He achieved fame in the U.S. after his performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, and in 1968 his third and final studio album, Electric Ladyland, reached number one in the U.S.; it was Hendrix's most commercially successful release and his first and only number one album. The world's highest-paid performer, he headlined the Woodstock Festival in 1969 and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 before his accidental death from barbiturate-related asphyxia on September 18, 1970, at the age of 27.
Hendrix was inspired musically by American rock and roll and electric blues. He favored overdriven amplifiers with high volume and gain, and was instrumental in utilizing the previously undesirable sounds caused by guitar amplifier feedback. He helped to popularize the use of a wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock, and was the first artist to use stereophonic phasing effects in music recordings. Holly George-Warren of Rolling Stone commented: "Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before him had experimented with feedback and distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began."
Hendrix was the recipient of several music awards during his lifetime and posthumously. In 1967, readers of Melody Maker voted him the Pop Musician of the Year, and in 1968, Rolling Stone declared him the Performer of the Year. Disc and Music Echo honored him with the World Top Musician of 1969 and in 1970, Guitar Player named him the Rock Guitarist of the Year. The Jimi Hendrix Experience was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. Rolling Stone ranked the band's three studio albums, Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love, and Electric Ladyland, among the 100 greatest albums of all time, and they ranked Hendrix as the greatest guitarist and the sixth greatest artist of all time.

Great upload (For history, Sat in with the Mothers Of Invention while they were in New York. It was Frank Zappa that first introduced Hendrix to the "Wah Wah" effect pedal. Frank Zappa recalls : '"Hendrix is one of the most revolutionary figures in today's pop culture, musically and sociologically. Hendrix's music is very interesting. The sound... is extremely symbolic: orgasmic grunts, tortured squeals, lascivous moans, electric disasters and innumerable other audial curiosities are delivered to the sense mechanisms of the audience at an extremely high decibel level. In a live performance environment, it is impossible to merely listen to what the Hendrix group does... it eats you alive."

I dunno,can't really call it. Alan Douglas stuck jazzbo fusioneers on Jimi's tapes for years and made full albums of the stuff shortly after Jimi left us and was the first to shower us with this stuff. Rectified somewhat in '82 with The Jimi Hendrix Concerts double Lp. Remember that one? Like manna from heaven. Then the Rykodisk releases. Radio One and Live At Winterland were fine as can be. The early Janie controlled stuff was well done tho'. At this point I feel some of the recent reissue stuff is a stretch. Miami Popfest 68 a classic tho'👁️🎼☯️

The magic trio! I never saw them live, but this sounds like Jimi was flying high. He took blues to another dimension entirely, like no other before him. Influenced by Buddy Guy, and lived on in Stevie Ray Vaughan.

[@prajnachan333]

Eric Clapton said to Chas his manager, who asked if Jimi could sit in with Cream, "you didn't say he was this bloody good!" And Eric preceded to leave the stage and watch in the audience (!) Pete Townsend and Jeff Beck were equally crestfallen on hearing him the first time. "Bloody hell, what's the point in continuing.......?" They all became friends and occasionally played together in the end, but Jimi was an explosion at first! (And remained so)

[@prajnachan333]

It's such a trip, all of these white English boys who were so enamored with the blues and American music over in England had a black African American come over there and school them all! Jeff and Eric were equally influenced by Buddy Guy as well, if you weren't aware. Cheers 🎶 🎵

Too bad, since this is Jimi's masterpiece. Electric Ladyland album would of made for a great concert. (''1983 A Merman I Should Turn to Be'') is my all time favorite song.

[@curbozerboomer1773]

Actually, he played "come On" as his first number, when I witnessed him 23 May, 1969 in Seattle. A powerful beginning to a powerful concert!..I saw many of the so-called superstars that came after him, during the 1970s...no one measured up to Jimi in concert!

[@riffdigger2133]

I always thought Noel Redding added a fresh sound to the rhythm section vs Billy Cox. Mitch’s drums seem more excited with Noel’s style. And Jimi was pushed more with Noel on bass.

[@FawleyJude]

I agree that Mitch's style changed a lot when Billy Cox came in on bass. Whether it was because of Noel or because Hendrix was changing his style of music--trying to get more of a funk thing going--I don't know.

[@curbozerboomer1773]

Noel was OK for the live gigs, at least until they got tired of each other!...But Cox was Jimi's friend from being in the Army together...they had more "soul" going onstage than Noel ever could muster.

💥explosive fireworks of atomic feedback, hadron collider meltdowns , galactic dive bombs into black holes spitting out unheard of frequencies. I suspect Hendrix was possibly at the beginning of another booster stage, maybe to fire up the rockets after becomming restless with the intended experiments in jazzzz with Ornette Colman, Roland Kirk , or maybe a new genre? I don't like the Floyde Rose tremelos 'cause they're bulky and hurt your hand though.
