Nigel Kennedy plays Hendrix. Little Wing (2015) Gitarowy Rekord Guinnessa

[@mandiabrahams7824]

Total respect to Nigel for being true to Jimi and telling Classic FM to stuff it...

[@garybelford3439]

True to Jimmy in what sense? Nigel butchered the song and made a self-aggrandizing political commentary about it

[@honeychurchgipsy6]

@@garybelford3439 - true to Jimmy in that he stood up to those who cannot see Hendrix as anything more than a blues guitarist.

@@garybelford3439 And if Jimi was still with us he'd be the first to applaud him.

As a result of todays reporting I decided to search this recording. I really enjoyed listening to this. Thanks Nigel.

He trying to bring something new to classical music. Shove it Jurassic FM

Well she's walking through the clouds with a circus mind that's running wild Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams and fairly tales, That's all she ever thinks about... Riding the wind When I'm sad she comes to me with a thousand smiles she gives to me free It's alright, she says, it's alright, Take anything you want from me, anything. Fly on, little wing.

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO

Sublime. :)

wanna sing along !!!

[@tagoldich]

To the very end I kept hoping he'd play Little Wing.

[@ironmantooltime]

Watch the scene where mozart improvs valieri's march and you might get what he's doing. Not that hendrix is valieri, kennedy refers to him as beethoven or bach. But you get the point. Don't expect a world class virtuoso to play a direct cover.

[@ironmantooltime]

You should be able to hear it from 5:45. Unless you're dead..

[@tagoldich]

@@ironmantooltime I know what he's doing; I just don't like it that's all.

[@ironmantooltime]

@@tagoldich to be fair 999/1000 I'd rather listen to Hendrix, but I appreciate someone with the talent to get near to bringing his stuff alive.

[@8odycount]

Hmm. Sounds like a soundtrack from a Japanese samurai film. The only one covered it and who did it right was stevie ray vaughan.

[@russellrenka7896]

And Stevie did it with love and mastery. Other greats should try their hand at it. Jurassic FM is lacking a clue about music's universal quality.

[@honeychurchgipsy6]

@@russellrenka7896 -m I agree - I think they do their listeners a disservice by assuming they would not have enjoyed this

[@russellrenka7896]

@@honeychurchgipsy6 Yes, that is likely so. It could be offered as a debut of a sort.

So corny!Kitsch!

[@grahambrown3593]

Not sure sound awful to me. Does not sound like little wing.

[@garybelford3439]

I think the emperor has no clothes on this one. It sounds nothing like Hendrix's Little Wing. Stringy and shrill

[@grahambrown3593]

@@garybelford3439 yes it is one of the best tunes. But the king is in the all together.

[@ironmantooltime]

Presumably why jurassic fm rejected it 😂
