All Jimi Hendrix wanted was to make music. But when fame came as part of the package, he didn't complain. Until then, he'd led the gruelling life of the jobbing guitarist, and no one had heard of him. But when he broke through, at 24, everyone wanted a piece of him. And three years later he was gone. But his extraordinary music lives on, revered and refreshed by contemporary composers, world-class classical instrumentalists and legions of ambitious rock guitarists. This book, the first of its kind, tracks that music from beginning to end, showing how it worked — and will always work.
Whereas some previous books about Hendrix have concentrated on the showmanship and rock¹n¹roll excesses, Jimi Hendrix: Musician examines in depth Hendrix¹s musical legacy as a guitarist, singer and composer. It does this by placing Hendrix¹s work in the broadest possible musical context, encompassing rock, pop, soul, funk, jazz, blues, fusion and a range of classical disciplines where they touch on his work.
