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.

Another vital album from Hendrix, containing some of rock's molten milestones. There's the fluid psychedelia of "Castles Made Of Sand", the viciously funky "Little Miss Lover", and the so-beautiful-it-hurts "Little Wing".

Hendrix really hits altitude with "If 6 Was 9", where he waves his freak over a tidal wave of guitar and a cacophonous army of Moroccan flutes, and he ends with "Bold As Love", based around Hendrix's typically far-fetched hankering for the axis of the planet to be tilted, thereby transforming life on earth. It works up into a head-melting frenzy of distorted guitar, a precursor to the staggeringly expansive leap forward he would take with 1968's Electric Ladyland.

Hendrix dreamed the impossible and achieved it on his guitar.
