Jimi Hendrix Biography:

James Marshall Hendrix
November 27th, 1942 - September 18, 1970

Widely recognized as one of the most creative and influential musicians
of the 20th century, Jimi Hendrix pioneered the explosive possibilities
of the electric guitar. Hendrix's innovative style of combining fuzz,
feedback and controlled distortion created a new musical form. Because
he was unable to read or write music, it is nothing short of remarkable
that Jimi Hendrix's meteoric rise in the music took place in just four
short years. His musical language continues to influence a host of
modern musicians, from George Clinton to Miles Davis, and Steve Vai to
Jonny Lang.

Jimi Hendrix, born Johnny Allen Hendrix at 10:15 a.m. on November 27,
1942, at Seattle's King County Hospital, was later renamed James
Marshall by his father, James "Al" Hendrix. Young Jimmy (as he was
referred to at the time) took an interest in music, drawing influence
from virtually every major artist at the time, including B.B. King,
Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Holly, and Robert Johnson. Entirely
self-taught, Jimmy's inability to read music made him concentrate even
harder on the music he heard.

Al took notice of Jimmy's interest in the guitar, recalling, "I used to
have Jimmy clean up the bedroom all the time while I was gone, and when I
would come home I would find a lot of broom straws around the foot of
the bed. I'd say to him, `Well didn't you sweep up the floor?' and he'd
say, `Oh yeah,' he did. But I'd find out later that he used to be
sitting at the end of the bed there and strumming the broom like he was
playing a guitar." Al found an old one-string ukulele, which he gave to
Jimmy to play a huge improvement over the broom.
By the summer of 1958, Al had purchased Jimmy a five-dollar, second-hand
acoustic guitar from one of his friends. Shortly thereafter, Jimmy
joined his first band, The Velvetones. After a three-month stint with
the group, Jimmy left to pursue his own interests. The following summer,
Al purchased Jimmy his first electric guitar, a Supro Ozark 1560S; Jimi
used it when he joined The Rocking Kings.

In 1961, Jimmy left home to enlist in the United States Army and in
November 1962 earned the right to wear the "Screaming Eagles" patch for
the paratroop division. While stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky,
Jimmy formed The King Casuals with bassist Billy Cox. After being
discharged due to an injury he received during a parachute jump, Jimmy
began working as a session guitarist under the name Jimmy James. By the
end of 1965, Jimmy had played with several marquee acts, including Ike
and Tina Turner, Sam Cooke, the Isley Brothers, and Little Richard.
Jimmy parted ways with Little Richard to form his own band, Jimmy James
and the Blue Flames, shedding the role of back-line guitarist for the
spotlight of lead guitar.

Throughout the latter half of 1965, and into the first part of 1966,
Jimmy played the rounds of smaller venues throughout Greenwich Village,
catching up with Animals' bassist Chas Chandler during a July
performance at Caf‚ Wha? Chandler was impressed with Jimmy's performance
and returned again in September 1966 to sign Hendrix to an agreement
that would have him move to London to form a new band.

Switching gears from bass player to manager, Chandler's first task was
to change Hendrix's name to "Jimi." Featuring drummer Mitch Mitchell and
bassist Noel Redding, the newly formed Jimi Hendrix Experience quickly
became the talk of London in the fall of 1966.

The Experience's first single, "Hey Joe," spent ten weeks on the UK
charts, topping out at spot No. 6 in early 1967. The debut single was
quickly followed by the release of a full-length album Are You
Experienced, a psychedelic musical compilation featuring anthems of a
generation. Are You Experienced has remained one of the most popular
rock albums of all time, featuring tracks like "Purple Haze," "The Wind
Cries Mary," "Foxey Lady," "Fire," and "Are You Experienced?"

Although Hendrix experienced overwhelming success in Britain, it wasn't
until he returned to America in June 1967 that he ignited the crowd at
the Monterey International Pop Festival with his incendiary performance
of "Wild Thing." Literally overnight, The Jimi Hendrix Experience became
one of most popular and highest grossing touring acts in the world.

Hendrix followed Are You Experienced with Axis: Bold As Love. By 1968,
Hendrix had taken greater control over the direction of his music; he
spent considerable time working the consoles in the studio, with each
turn of a knob or flick of the switch bringing clarity to his vision.

Back in America, Jimi Hendrix built his own recording studio, Electric
Lady Studios in New York City. The name of this project became the basis
for his most demanding musical release, a two LP collection, Electric
Ladyland. Throughout 1968, the demands of touring and studio work took
its toll on the group and in 1969 the Experience disbanded.

The summer of 1969 brought emotional and musical growth to Jimi Hendrix.
In playing the Woodstock Music & Art Fair in August 1969, Jimi
joined forces with an eclectic ensemble called Gypsy Sun & Rainbows
featuring Jimi Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cox, Juma Sultan, and
Jerry Velez. The Woodstock performance was highlighted by the renegade
version of "Star Spangled Banner," which brought the mud-soaked audience
to a frenzy.
Nineteen sixty-nine also brought about a new and defining collaboration
featuring Jimi Hendrix on guitar, bassist Billy Cox and Electric Flag
drummer Buddy Miles. Performing as the Band of Gypsys, this trio
launched a series of four New Year's performances on December 31, 1969
and January 1, 1970. Highlights from these performances were compiled
and later released on the quintessential Band of Gypsys album in
mid-1970 and the expanded Hendrix: Live At The Fillmore East in 1999.

As 1970 progressed, Jimi brought back drummer Mitch Mitchell to the
group and together with Billy Cox on bass, this new trio once again
formed The Jimi Hendrix Experience. In the studio, the group recorded
several tracks for another two LP set, tentatively titled First Rays Of
The New Rising Sun. Unfortunately, Hendrix was unable to see this
musical vision through to completion due to his hectic worldwide touring
schedules, then tragic death on September 18, 1970. Fortunately, the
recordings Hendrix slated for release on the album were finally issued
through the support of his family and original studio engineer Eddie
Kramer on the 1997 release First Rays Of The New Rising Sun.

From demo recordings to finished masters, Jimi Hendrix generated an
amazing collection of songs over the course of his short career. The
music of Jimi Hendrix embraced the influences of blues, ballads, rock,
R&B, and jazz a collection of styles that continue to make Hendrix
one of the most popular figures in the history of rock music.
