experiencing the JH experience
Jimi Hendrix-Live in Berkeley, 2nd show
if you have good speakers you'll feel as if you were there, at the foot of the stage, with the students in dashikis and camisoles waving flags and flashing ... lights all around you
he plays jazz! At the core, it's blues, and you know what descends from blues right? jazz
above all it's genius. the complexity of the arrangements surprised me. you know how evey now and then critics come up with lists of must-have recordings, the self-sufficient musical library upon which build our instruction in notes? well this is one of those - in my humble opinion
pair this with live "Inca roads" by Zappa. then light it up: it's gonna blow up right IN YOUR FACE.
