I am Leon, I am sorry. Even my friends call me Jimi, by accident. And I went to London a couple of months ago, Jimis friends call me Jimi, they go: Jimi, it´s so good to see you again! And I: How much acid did you take? When they see me, it´s like they are seeing Jimi again, they wanna hug me… It´s weird, Jimi is so omnipresent, he is a powerful source, like Mozart and Beethoven. Sprecher overvoice Leon: Die Leute hier auf dem Weg zu meinem office nennen mich alle Jimi, Hey Jimi, wie geht´s ? - Wieso, ich bin doch Leon. Sogar meine Freunde nennen mich so, aus Versehen. Und vor ein paar Monaten in London auch Jimis Freunde: Jimi, toll dich wieder zu sehen. Und ich: wie viel LSD hast du denn genommen? Wenn sie mich sehen, ist es so, als ob sie wieder Jimi sähen, sie wollen mich umarmen. Es ist verrückt, Jimi ist so allgegenwärtig, eine mächtige Quelle, wie Mozart und Beethoven. Atmo: Jimi Hendrix singt - It's too bad - That my brother can't be here today It's too bad - That my brother can't be here today - Well, one time he came around to my house, you know - And I was kinda like outta my mind - And I sent him a-cryin' away Atmo: U-Bahn Berlin mit Ansage Sprecherin: Es ist Freitagabend in Berlin, kurz vor zehn, eine magisch schöne Oktobernacht. Die Gehsteige auf dem Weg zur U-Bahn übersät mit gelben, dreizackigen Ahornblättern. Atmo: U-Bahn Ansage Zoologischer Garten Sprecherin: Ich bin unterwegs zu Hendrix - zu Leon Hendrix, dem kleinen Bruder des großen Jimi. Heute abend wird er im Jazzclub Quasimodo auftreten, in einem Tribute Konzert des Gitarristen Randy Hansen. Atmo: Quasimodo Randy Hansen Musik - Leon Hendrix live Sprecherin: Randy, aus Seattle wie Jimi und Leon, aber von weißen Eltern, genießt bei uns den besten Ruf als Hendrix-Interpret und -Wiedergänger. Mit seiner Band fabriziert er einen erstklassigen Hendrix-Sound - mit all den raffinierten Griffen und Verrenkungen wie Jimi einst und einer fast verwechselbaren Stimme. Wer aber kennt bei uns schon Leon Hendrix? 2 Atmo: Ansage Randy - Leon Hendrix singt - Leon Hendrix live. This is a very special personality: Gitarrenintro “Hey, Joe...“ Leon singt „Hey Jimi“ Hey Jimi, what are you doing with your guitar in your hand - Hey Jimi, what are you doing with your guitar in your hand - I´m going to shoot my old lady, cause she is messing around with a guitar man… Sprecherin: Leon, geboren fast sechs Jahre nach Jimi, spielt Gitarre, aber nicht besonders gut. Schon gar nicht wie ein zweiter Hendrix. Und auch seine Stimme klingt ganz anders. Auf seiner ersten Deutschlandtournee mit Randy hat er ihm klugerweise das Gitarrespielen überlassen und singt nur. Die alten Klassiker: „Hey Joe“, „Purple Haze“, „Red House“. Er hat erst spät zur Musik gefunden, mit fünfzig. Leon (backstage): …cause I get married, I got out of the army, Jimy died, I got married, I had six kids, so I was stuck, working a job all the time. And then, when my kids grew up… one night, I was doing drugs and stuff and Jimi came to me in a dream or vision, he said: Leon, what are you doing? Sprecher overvoice Leon: Nach Jimis Tod habe ich geheiratet, sechs Kinder bekommen und war ständig am Arbeiten. Und dann, eines Nachts, die Kinder waren schon groß und ich unter Drogen, kam Jimi im Traum zu mir oder in einer Vision und sagte: Leon, was tust du eigentlich? Atmo: Quasimodo, Künstlergarderobe Sprecherin: Wir sitzen im rosa Licht der Künstlergarderobe des Berliner Jazzclubs. Leon im dunkelgrünen T-Shirt mit Jimis Kopf in der Afro-Wolke auf der Brust. Er ist liebenswürdig und gut gelaunt. Jimi, erzählt er, habe ihn aus dem Jenseits wachgerüttelt: Leon (backstage): Leon, what are you doing? I´m doing drugs and girls and stuff, I´am doing nothing with my life, me and my wife separated…I do create a talent and so I itched ! But finanally I persued my musical carreer, Jimi wanted me 40 years ago and I didn´t do it, but I do it now … Sprecher overvoice Leon: Ich mach mit Drogen und mit Frauen rum und ich mache nichts aus meinem Leben, seit der Trennung von meiner Frau. Ich musste etwas Kreatives machen und ich brannte darauf! Endlich hab ich meine musikalische Karriere verfolgt, das wollte Jimi schon vor 40 Jahren und ich hab´s nicht getan, aber jetzt tu ich´s Leon (backstage): Do you want me to do a sound check? Atmo: Musik - Cancion Playera (Modus Vivendi) Atmo: Camero Ave, Nachbarn, Vögel, Autos 3 Sprecherin: Los Angeles im Dezember. Blauer Himmel und ein grandioses Licht bei Temperaturen um die 18 Grad. Die Grapefruit-und Limonenbäume an der Camero Ave im hügeligen Viertel Los Feliz zeigen sich selbst zur Weihnachtszeit im frischesten Grün. Atmo: Krähen, Sirene, Nachbar ruft „Chico“ Sprecherin: Das Haus, in dem Leon mit seiner deutschen Freundin Jasmin wohnt, verschwindet fast hinter den gigantischen Dattel- und Königs-Palmen vor der Tür. Zur WG gehören Helmut, Jasmins allererster boyfriend aus München und zwei Pelztiere, zwei Hunde und zwei Katzen. Im Garten hinten hat Jasmins Sohn sein Quartier und Musikstudio, in dem er mit Musikern aus aller Welt die Mixturen für das eigene label zusammenbraut Atmo: Musik - Cancion playera Atmo: Haus Atmo innen ( LA Tierarzt). Jasmin, Leon, Helmut im Aufbruch. Jasmin: „Ach, Geld...“ Wortfetzen, Miauen Leon: I´m unhappy too…(lacht) Sprecherin: Mit Jimi ist Leon keine Sekunde lang zu verwechseln: braune, gelockte Haare, zum Zopf gebunden, Brille, Hipsterbart. Die Züge eher indianisch, als afrikanisch. Von der Cherokee-Indianerin der Vorfahren und der heller getönten Mutter Lucille hat er mehr abbekommen, als vom schwarzen Vater Al. Erstaunlich, wie geschmeidig er sich jenseits der Bühne in seinen schwarzen Jeans und Converse-Turnschuhen bewegt. Atmo: Leon - Close that door, Jasmin: No, he doesn´t have to…Leon lacht Leon: „I met Jasmin in 19…...wow.. It´s been 13 years. Oh, You are right. In 2000, we met. At a AA meeting. And then? - I fell in love. Sprecherin: Vor zwölf Jahren trafen sie sich in LA bei den Anonymen Alkoholikern und verliebten sich. Jasmin: Und da war er gerade ein halbes Jahr clean und ich war ein Jahr clean und wir haben uns irgendwie gemocht und dann sind wir zu meetings gegangen und das war ganz wunderbar - so war das Sprecherin: Jasmin kenne ich noch aus der Schulzeit in München, wir waren „beste Freundinnen“. Sie studierte Psychologie in LA und kämpfte viele Jahre mit einer Alkohol-und Heroinsucht, während sich Leon der Kombination Crack und Alkohol verschrieben hatte. 4 Leon: … so I´m been playing music since I met her and I owe all to her. She is my rock, my rock….she keeps me study and I preciate it. Atmo: Haus innen Sprecherin: Jasmin ist sein Felsen. Auch der feste Tagesrhythmus in der Cameron Ave, bestimmt von Jasmins täglichem Aufbruch zu ihrem Job als Psychotherapeutin in Beverly Hills und von Helmuts lässig hingezauberten Abendessen, tun Leon gut. Atmo: Haus innen. Helmut: Komm jetzt! Leon: Komm mit, Helmet usw. Jasmin .. Helmut: I close the door … Sprecherin: Auch wenn es ihn immer wieder auf die Straße zieht, in sein sogenanntes „Office“, oder wer-weiß-wohin... Atmo: Straße mit Krähen Sprecherin: Als Kind schon trieb er sich mit seinem Aufpasser Jimi bis spät nachts auf den Straßen und Feldern von Seattle herum. Leon: We used playing in the fields, we used go further then the fields, Jimi would take off and we got so much trouble, cause we wouldn´t come back until night fall, because Jimi was always on the move Sprecherin: Das war in den 50er Jahren und die Hendrix-Familie gehörte zu den Ärmsten unter den Armen im Viertel der Schwarzen, wo auch weiße und gelbe Einwanderer wohnten. Die Eltern, jung und schwere Trinker, ständig getrennt und wieder zusammen. Lucille, die Mutter entflieht den ewigen Kampfszenen zuhause gern ins Nachtleben und stirbt mit 32 an einem Milzriss. Vater Al, schon seit der Scheidung der Alleinerzieher, kommt von der Schicht und Kneipe erst um Mitternacht nachhause, manchmal auch gar nicht.

  • 'Het Was Een Fijne Gozer'
    PROLOOG ‘Het was een fijne gozer’ Alle grote namen uit de popmuziek zijn ooit begonnen met het spelen van nummers van anderen. Zulke coverversies zijn gewoon- lijk niet veel meer dan bleke afschaduwingen van het origineel, die worden weggemoffeld zodra de imitator een eigen sound heeft ge- vonden. De belangrijke uitzondering hierop was Jimi Hendrix, die in de korte tijd dat hij aan de top stond altijd covers bleef spelen die nooit echte covers waren en dikwijls radicale herinterpretaties. Zo werkte hij het luchtige Beatlesnummer ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ om tot een heavy-metalspervuur dat door Paul McCartney, die toch wel wat hommages gewend was, betiteld werd als ‘een van de geweldigste eerbewijzen van mijn hele carrière’. En alle anderen die door Jimi gecoverd werden, dachten er net zo over: ze waren niet gepikeerd over de deconstructie van hun werk (dat misschien wel met miljoenen over de toonbank ging) maar keken met ontzag op naar de nieuwe dimensies die hij eraan 9 Wild Thing toevoegde. Voor velen is het hoogtepunt van zijn genialiteit dan ook geen eigen compositie zoals ‘Hey Joe’ of ‘Purple Haze’, maar zijn versie van Bob Dylans ‘All Along the Watchtower’. Dat num- mer was oorspronkelijk verschenen op het album John Wesley Har- ding uit 1967, en was zoals gewoonlijk eerder een afspiegeling van wat Dylan gelezen had dan van zijn eigen leven. De titel is ontleend aan een passage uit het Bijbelboek Jesaja – dat ook de zinsnede ‘Go set a watchman’ (Ga heen, zet een wachter) bevat die Harper Lee gebruikte voor een vroege versie van het boek dat To Kill a Moc- kingbird zou worden.
