American modern electric blues guitar virtuoso; lyricist, vocalist. Jimi Hendrix was a self-taught guitarist who rose to fame in the 1960s. He began his career backing R&B greats such as Ike and Tina Turner, Sam Cooke, and B.B. King. In London, he formed The Jimi Hendrix Experience with bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell. Their debut album "Are You Experienced" was released in 1967 and earned Hendrix international acclaim as a premier rock instrumentalist and innovator of his generation.

After a landmark appearance at the Monterey Pop festival, Hendrix released two more successful albums - "Axis: Bold As Love" (1968) and "Electric Ladyland" (1968). These albums showcased his blues-oriented developments and further solidified his status as a musical genius. Despite his untimely death in 1970, Hendrix's music continued to captivate audiences through posthumous releases like "The Cry Of Love" (1971) and the soundtrack to the documentary film "Jimi Hendrix" (1973).

Jimi Hendrix's talent as a guitarist and innovative approach to music made him an iconic figure in rock history. His contributions continue to inspire generations of musicians worldwide.

Bursting with ideas and energy, Jimi Hendrix's second album release of 1968 (following Axis: Bold As Love) was a double album set that showcased virtually everything the guitar genius had to offer: blistering blues ("Voodoo Chile"), galaxy-patrolling space jams ("1983... A Merman I Should Turn To Be"), psychedelic soul ("Crosstown Traffic"), and sky-scraping rock ("Voodoo Child (Slight Return)").

In the midst of all this was even a hit song - Hendrix's remarkable reading of Bob Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower", featuring a series of baton-passing guitar solos, all distinct and brilliant.
