The Racialization of Jimi Hendrix Abstract The period of history immediately following World War Two was a time of intense social change. The nde of colonialism, the internal struggles of newly emerging independent nations in Africa, social and political changes across Europe, armed conflict in Southeast Asia, and the civil rights movement in America were just a few. Although many of the above conflicts have been in the making for quite some time, they seemed to unite to form a socio-political cultural revolution known as the 60s, the effects of which continues to this day. The 1960s asw a particularly intense time for race relations in the United States. Long before it officially became a republic, in matters of race, white America collectively had trouble reconciling what it practiced versus what it preached. Nowhere is this racial contradiction more apparent than in the case of Jimi Hendrix. Jimi Hendrix is emblematic of the racial ideal and the racial contradictions of the 1960s.

10/10/13 Experience Hendrix at the Fabulous Fox America's News English Experience Hendrix at the Fabulous Fox Forsyth County News (Cumming, GA) - Sunday, March 21, 2010 Readability: >12 grade level (Lexile: 1310L) Author: Ira Miller; Columnist, [email protected] Jimi Hendrix died on Sept. 18, 1970. I remember the date because that was my first birthday. And even though I can't play a lick of guitar, I have inherited a love of music. If you love music, you will love being at the Fabulous Fox on Saturday night as "Experience Hendrix" heads to Atlanta. This is the fourth edition of the biennial concert tour paying homage to the music and legacy of Jimi Hendrix. Joe Satriani, Jonny Lang, Eric Johnson, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Brad Whitford (of Aerosmith), Doyle Bramhall II, Ernie Isley, Living Colour, Susan Tedeschi, Double Trouble's Chris Layton, Robert Randolph, along with original Hendrix bassist Billy Cox will be performing music written and inspired by the legend. Cox, who first befriended Hendrix when the two were in the 101st Airborne division of the US Army, played in both the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Band of Gypsys. "It's a thrill for me to play Jimi's music for audiences now as it was in the 1960s. The Experience Hendrix tours have shown how timeless this music really is," Cox said. Featured in every show are signature songs including "Purple Haze," "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," "The Wind Cries Mary," "Little Wing" and "Red House." Kenny Wayne Shepherd, a veteran of several Experience Hendrix tours remarked: "Jimi Hendrix's music has really inspired [me] to push the limits of my own music.

As a performer and musician, his resume is so complete that there is a tendency to sit back and marvel at it: virtuoso player, sonic innovator, hit songwriter, wild stage performer, outrageous dresser, sex symbol, and even sensitive guy. But there is also a tendency, possibly because of his overwhelming image, to fail to dig deeper into the music, as Rob Van der Bliek has pointed out.1 In this study, we will look at Hendrix’s music, his performance practice, and its relationship to the mythology that has grown up around him.

Roger with the Actual Octavia Used by Jimi Hendrix on the Band of Gypsys Recordings and Concerts
A5 Outer Bleed 154x216mm Box Outside Bleed Line ROGER WITH THE ACTUAL OCTAVIA USED BY JIMI HENDRIX ON THE BAND OF GYPSYS RECORDINGS AND CONCERTS A5 Outer Bleed 154x216mm Box Outside Bleed Line A5 Outer Bleed 154x216mm Box Outside Bleed Line The History of the World’s most Iconic Guitar Effect I met Jimi Hendrix for the 1st time on Jan 11th 1967 at the Bag O’ Nails club in Soho, London. We talked together after the show about new guitar sounds and I mentioned that I had invented a brand new sound 6 months previously that I thought Jimi should hear. He invited me to see him at a gig on Jan 27th 1967 at Chislehurst Caves just outside London where I brought along the 1st prototype of this new sound which later became known as the Octavia. From this meeting in the dressing room before the gig where Jimi played the Octavia for the 1st time on a small practice amp began our lifetime relationship and quest for creating new exciting sounds for upcoming recordings. Jimi loved the brand new sound colour palette the Octavia produced and suggested that we meet up on Feb 3rd at the Ricky Tick Club in Hounslow as after the gig we would go to Olympic Studios to overdub the solos on his latest records to be released Purple Haze and Fire. Purple Haze was a mind blowing sonic experience for music lovers and began Jimi’s meteoric rise to fame to become the leading new guitarist of 1967. All this happened within 24 days of our 1st meeting and as they say the rest is history.

Voodoo Child 78 (Final)
VOODOO CHILD 78 (FINAL) HENDRIX WORLDWIDE CATALOG IS NOW UNIVERSAL…Can the world be ready for more Jimi Hendrix? Universal Music certainly believes so as they have recently signed an exclusive administration agreement with Experience Hendrix LLC to manage the catalog of Jimi Hendrix’s music encompassing all territories throughout the world outside the United States. In that global realm, UMPG will represent the catalogue for all commercial opportunities including synchronization licensing for Motion Pictures, TV, Advertising and other mediums. The five-year contract moves the management from Sony ATV, which had managed the catalog since 1998. Upon making the announcement Renzer, Chairman/ CEO, Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) commented, "We are so honored that Experience Hendrix has chosen Universal Music Publishing Group to represent their iconic catalogue. Jimi Hendrix's catalogues represents the work of one of the premiere artists of our time and we look forward to working closely with the Hendrix family in representing these amazing songs". Janie L Hendrix President/CEO of Experience Hendrix commented: "We are excited about working with David Renzer and the UMPG staff. Our beloved Jimi has long been recognized as the greatest guitarist ever and the most amazing performer in music history. His ability to expand the frontiers of composition with an almost supernatural sense of melody and rhythm coupled with his truly poetic lyricism has made his catalogue of songs one of the true cornerstones of musical art foreach successive generation. His matchless skill, creativity and imagination on the guitar continue to give those who have come after him an elusive standard to strive for.

Blue Wild Gypsy Jimi Hendrix Tribute
Blue Wild Gypsy Jimi Hendrix Tribute Band Members: John Edwards – Lead Guitar and Vocals Keith Pike – Drums John Astore – Bass and Backing Vocals Audiences are treated to a wide spectrum of Hendrix’s music, including many classic hits such as “Foxy Lady”, “All Along the Watch Tower”, “Purple Haze”, “Red House”, “Manic Depression”, “Hey Joe” and many more. Although performing some of the rock driven hits from Jimi’s career with the “Experience” band, Blue Wild Gypsy primarily focuses on material representative of the time Jimi spent with the “Band of Gypsys”. Johnny and his band have also opened for the late, great Texas Twister Johnny “Clyde” Copeland, Luther Guitar Johnson and Rick Derringer. Blue Wild Gypsy presents a powerful soul-filled performance that leaves Hendrix fans feeling they’ve paid tribute to the legendary artist who has left one of the most inspiring catalogs of music ever, James Marshall Hendrix – a.k.a.- Jimi Hendrix. What the Media is saying about Blue Wild Gypsy “Johnny Edwards as The Man, was a sight to behold. Decked in an untucked orange shirt, slim fit black pants, pointy cowboy boots, and a floppy, wide-brim hat, the mocha- skinned, mustachioed Edwards didn’t have to crank a single whammy bar to make folks believe they were witnessing Jimi in the flesh”. But crank away he most certainly did (just like Jimi), first with a 15 minute, draining workout of the bluesy “Red House” “Crosstown Traffic” “Foxy Lady” and 20 more classics followed. All were solid, enthusiastic replicas. If you were feeling nostalgic, you could call it Monterey revisited”.
