Jimi Hendrix It's only rock & roll | Pep Saña | Actualitzat el 24/05/2017 a les 19:27 Jimi Hendrix Reconegut unànimement com un dels músics més creatius i influents del segle XX, Jimi Hendrix va ser pioner en les explosives possibilitats de la guitarra elèctrica. L'innovador estil de Hendrix combinant la distorsió controlada de la guitarra el va fer creador d'una nova forma musical. Tenint en conte que no sabia llegir ni escriure música, és extraordinari l'ascens meteòric de Jimi Hendrix perquè va tenir lloc en només quatre anys. És considerat un dels més grans guitarristes de la història de la música, a més de ser un dels més grans innovadors i més influents artistes d'alguns gèneres musicals. El seu estil musical continua influint en multitud de músics, des de Miles Davis a Steve Vai. La seva exhibició al festival de Woodstock de 1969 el va transformar en un símbol, la imatge de Jimi Hendrix, tocant l'himne dels Estats Units amb una distorsió visiblement provocada però brillant, va entrar potentment a l'imaginari col?lectiu musical com un dels punts d'inflexió de la història del rock. Jimi Hendrix - National Anthem U.S.A (Woodstock 1969) V?deo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwIymq0iTsw Hendrix va ser introduït al Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame al 1992. L'any 2003, la revista Rolling Stone el va escollir com el millor guitarrista de tots els temps i al 2004 el va incloure en el numero 6 a la seva llista dels millors artistes de tota la història. Al 2009, la revista Time el va situar com el millor guitarrista de guitarra elèctrica de la història, per davant de Slash, B. B. King, Angus Young, Chuck Berry, Keith Richards i Jimmy Page. https://www.naciodigital.cat/bergueda/noticia/9852/jimi-hendrix Pagina 1 de 13 Inicis Jimi Hendrix, nascut com Johnny Allen Hendrix el 27 de novembre de 1942, a Seattle, de mare d'orígens natiu americana i pare afroamericà (la seva avia materna era una india cherokee pura), li van canviar el nom pel de James Marshall Hendrix en memòria del germà mort del seu pare Leon Marshall Hendrix. El petit Jimi va passar els seus primers anys en un barri molt humil i va tenir una infància marcada per l'alcoholisme, les baralles i el posterior divorci dels seus pares quan tenia 9 anys. El jove Jimi es va interessar per la música atret per la influència de grans artistes de blues, com BB King, Muddy Waters, Howlin 'Wolf, Buddy Holly i Robert Johnson. Completament autodidacta, la incapacitat de Jimmy per llegir música el va fer concentrar-se encara més en la música que escoltava. El pare de Jimi, James Allen Ross Hendrix, a qui la gent anomenava Al, se'n va adonar de l' interès del noi per la guitarra, recordant "Solia deixar a Jimi netejant el dormitori mentre jo marxava, i quan tornava a casa trobava un munt de palletes d'escombra al voltant del peu del llit. Jo li deia, no has escombrat el terra?. I ell deia, oh si, ho he fet. Però més endavant descobriria que solia estar assegut al peu del llit i rascava l'escombra com si estigués tocant una guitarra?. Al, va trobar un vell ukelele d'una corda, que li va donar a Jimi per tocar, una enorme millora sobre l'escombra. A principis de 1958 mor la seva mare als 33 anys d'una cirrosi, i a l'estiu el seu pare va comprar a Jimi una guitarra acústica de segona mà a un dels seus amics per cinc dòlars, reemplaçant l' ukelele que Al havia trobat netejant un garatge. Va aprendre practicant sense parar, mirant com tocaven altres músics com Erick Johnson i B.B. King entre d'altres. Poc després, Jimi va formar la seva primera banda, The Velvetones. Després de tres mesos amb la banda, Jimi va tenir clar que necessitava una guitarra elèctrica perquè amb l'acústica no se'l sentia. L'estiu següent, Al, va comprar a Jimi la seva primera guitarra elèctrica, una Supro Ozark 1560S de color blanc que Jimi la va utilitzar quan es va unir a The Rocking Kings, una banda professional que tocava pel circuit de clubs de la zona. Poc interessat a l'escola, que deixaria abans de graduar-se, Jimi va començar a dedicar-se obsessivament a la música, els seus punts de referència van ser guitarristes de l'escena del blues de Chicago com Elmore James, Muddy Waters o Albert King, les llegendes del blues del Delta, com Robert Johnson i Leadbelly, i del rock and roll com Chuck Berry. Al 1961, degut a problemes amb la llei, es va veure obligat a triar entre un període de presó o allistar-se a l'exèrcit, triada la segona opció, Jimi es va allistar el 31 de maig de 1961 a la 101 Airborne Division i enviat a Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Acabat el seu entrenament va ser condecorat amb la insígnia Screaming Eagles de la divisió paracaigudista. La seva aventura militar va durar molt poc, frustrat per la rigidesa de l'ambient i convençut a dedicar-se a la música, Jimi decideix posar fi al seu període militar, visitant diverses vegades al psicòleg de l'exèrcit declarant ser homosexual. Tenint en compte algunes entrevistes deixades per Hendrix al respecte, sembla que amb la finalitat d'obtenir la baixa va al?legar problemes d'esquena i que s'havia trencat un turmell en un salt en paracaigudes. L'acostament a l'escena musical. Mentre estava a Fort Campbell, Jimi va formar The King Casuals amb el baixista Billy Cox que era company seu a l'exèrcit. Una vegada obtinguda la baixa, Buster (com el coneixien molts amics i familiars) i Cox (un cop llicenciat) se'n van anar a viure a Clarksville,Tennessee. Va començar a actuar en públic al 1962 al costat del seu amic Billy Cox, la banda va començar a tocar en locals de la zona fins que la formació sencera va decidir traslladar-se a Nashville. Tocaven en locals de la zona tradicionalment considerada el cor de la comunitat afroamericana de Nashville i coneguda per la intensa escena rhythm & blues que en aquell període s'estava https://www.naciodigital.cat/bergueda/noticia/9852/jimi-hendrix Pagina 2 de 13 desenvolupant, aquest ambient va propiciar i va influenciar les primeres experiències en directe de Hendrix. Durant els tres anys següents Jimi va formar part de la gira de l'anomenat Chitlin' Circuit, convertint-se en una presència fixa en multitud de concerts, tant de guitarrista de The King Casuals com amb bandes suport de molts músics de blues, rhythm & blues i soul com Chuck Jackson, Slim Harpo, Tommy Tucker, Sam Cooke i Jackie Wilson. El període del Chitlin' Circuit va resultar fonamental per la seva formació musical i estilística, en aquest context Hendrix va consolidar el seu coneixement de les arrels del blues. Una vegada acabat amb el que més tard anomenaria el seu període d'aprenentatge, Hendrix decideix anar-se'n a Nova York. Al gener de 1964, Jimi s'instal?la al barri de Harlem on fa amistat amb els bessons Arthur i Albert Allen. L'amistat amb els bessons Allen va resultar ser fonamental i destinada a durar en el temps, com demostren algunes col?laboracions a l'última part de la carrera de Hendrix. També va resultar fonamental la relació amb qui més tard es convertiria en la seva novia, Lithofayne "Fayne" Pridgeon. Fayne va facilitar suport i contactes a Hendrix i va resultar essencial per la seva inserció a l'escena local gràcies als seus coneixements de l'ambient musical de Harlem. Acostament a l'èxit La primera oportunitat de tastar l'èxit va arribar al 1964, quan Hendrix va ser reclutat com guitarrista de la banda dels Isley Brothers per una gira per tot Estats Units, inclosos els locals del Chitlin' Circuit, on justament en el passat havia tingut l'ocasió de tocar en gravacions d'estudi el tema Testify, single que es convertiria en un èxit radiofònic dels Isley Brothers. Entre 1964 i 1965 Hendrix va començar un seguit d'anades i tornades, d'un grup a l'altra, a Nashville va deixar als Isley Brothers per anar-se'n de guitarrista a la banda de Sam Cooke, a Atlanta va formar part dels Upsetters, que era la banda de Little Richard. A pesar de que Little Richard era en aquell temps un dels ídols de Jimi, tots dos van entrar en conflictes durant el tour per les raons més absurdes, la majoria per la intolerància de Little Richard a la teatralitat escènica de Hendrix, finalment va acabar marxant per afegir-se al tour de Ike & Tina Turner, però també va durar poc, les actuacions del guitarrista van provocar que Ike & Tina el retornessin a la seva banda anterior. De totes maneres, l'aventura amb la banda de Little Richard acabaria pocs mesos desprès quan Hendrix va ser acomiadat per haver perdut el bus del tour a Washington D. C. Al 1965 Hendrix es va unir a la banda de Nova York Curtis Knight And The Squires, després d'haver conegut a Knight en un hotel on s'allotjaven, al mateix temps també s'apuntava a un tour de dos mesos amb Joey Dee And The Starliters. Finalment, el 15 d'octubre de 1965 Jimi signa un contracte discogràfic de tres anys amb un empresari, Ed Chaplin, que va continuar en vigor més temps i mes endavant li causaria problemes legals. Al 1966 Hendrix va formar la seva primera banda amb el nom de Jimmy James And The Blue Flames.

  • Key to London Map of Days
    A London Map of Days This is the key to the daily details that feature on my etching A London Map of Days. I posted these every day on both Facebook and Twitter from the 9 February 2015 through to 8 February 2016. As the project continued, I began to enjoy myself and treat it more like a blog and so there is a marked difference between the amount of detail I have included at the beginning and the end of that year. 1 January 1660 Samuel Pepys begins writing his famous diary. He started the diary when he was only 26 years old and kept it for 10 years. He was a naval administrator and even though he had no maritime experience, he rose by a combination of hard work, patronage and talent for administration to be the Chief Secretary to the Admiralty under King Charles II and King James II. His diary, which was not published until the 19th century was written in a cryptic, personal shorthand and the first person to fully transcribe it, did so without the benefit of the key. It was not until 1970 that an unabridged version was published as previous editions had omitted passages deemed too obscene to print, usually involving Pepys sexual exploits. The diary combines personal anecdotes (often centred around drinking) with eyewitness accounts of great events such as the Great Plague of London, the Second Dutch War and the Great Fire of London. It is a glorious work and was a constant source of inspiration for my map. Daily detail from A London Map of Days.

  • Préambule Des Cousins, Des Cousines, on En a Tous. Ou Presque. Parfois
    Préambule Des cousins, des cousines, on en a tous. Ou presque. Parfois plus proches qu’une sœur, qu’un frère, bien souvent de parfaits inconnus. Des noms, des prénoms qui ne nous disent rien. Ou au contraire qui évoquent des tas de choses. Des souvenirs d’enfance, des jeux, des expériences précoces, des plaisirs, des couleurs partagés. Comme s’ils nous racontaient une histoire intime. Comme s’ils nous révélaient de vieux secrets, faisant ressurgir dans notre mémoire, quand parfois on s’y attend le moins, une image, une sensation, un épisode du passé. Pour ma part, j’ai eu beaucoup de chance. Au moins deux de mes nombreux cousins ont profondément marqué ma vie. Deux êtres cultivant une grande liberté d’esprit et partageant un même goût immodéré pour les musiques binaires. Il y eut Vincent, alias Ian Craddock, le cousin d’adolescence et des portes qui s’ouvrent sur le monde. L’artiste, le photographe, l’ami indéfectible. « My Perfect Cousin », comme on se disait parfois l’un l’autre en forme de clin d’œil au morceau des Undertones. Et il 9 Ciel d'orage y eut mon cousin Jean Rolland. Celui de mes premières années. Celui qui, le premier, fit entrer un peu de lumière dans un univers étriqué, à la morale rigide et faisandée. C’est de lui dont je voudrais parler ici. Sans doute parce qu’il est parti trop tôt, trop brutalement. Sans doute pour évoquer mes propres souvenirs. Mais avant tout parce qu’il restera cette figure solaire et généreuse, singulière et gouailleuse, ayant laissé une marque indélébile dans mon esprit.

  • Mr. Hoover Senator Louie B
    Preface: "Tales of the Golden Eye" is written as a 1st hand account by Eider Chess, a demented covert operative. It is a satirical rock and roll conspiracy story about some of the mysteries of our musical culture and times. Sections of the document are “Journal Entries” with crossed out editing –left in the document for their implication. The final chapter is presented in the form of a screen play so the commentary by individuals is easier for the reader to follow. And so it goes: When WWII ended the OSS was shut down by The US Congress because in the spirit of "anti- Communism" they allowed Nazis to escape to South America. So a new secret service called the CIA was created. But 1st our principle players: In 1915 the English wanted to blame someone for “what had happened” So a German Master spy was named who “sold out the Empire”. He was charged with conspiracy, arrested, tried, convicted & Imprisoned in quick order. And then he just simply walked out of prison one day & began a career of involvement in the back rooms of international Intrigue. He was……… Ignaz Treblitch Lincoln- born in 1879 in Hungary, to a wealthy orthodox Jewish family. He immigrated to England in 1899 where he converted to Christianity, became an Anglican Minister, a Member of Parliament, “The Greatest German Spy of WWI”, an “agent of the Counter-Initiation,” and in time a Buddhist Monk, Guru to the Rich and finally the First Director of the Golden Eye. Little is recorded of Eider Chess. Historically he is associated with “Project Chalice” and the U2 Spy Incident.

  • “Jimi Hendrix As Spiritual Guide” Rev
    “Jimi Hendrix as Spiritual Guide” Rev. Don Rollins February 24, 2008 INTRODUCTION Dennis McFann was one of those older boys that your mother told you to stay away from. He had that long hair. He played the organ in that weird band of his. He was probably into drugs, like the rest of those long-haired hippies. You stay away from that boy. My mother was right on all counts, but, unbeknownst to her, Dennis Mc Fann was too late to be the first to corrupt me in the ways of life; my age-cohorts had already seen to that. No, he was not the Great Satan my mother assumed, but Dennis did introduce him to me. Now, keep in mind that my eleven-years-older sister’s musical tastes ran contrary to that of our working-poor parents’ country music, but at least you could identify a discernable melody, understand most of the words and the band members themselves appeared to have been taught the value of personal hygiene: do-wop boys bands; Motown girls bands. (Pelvis gyrations notwithstanding, Mom even admitted that that Elvis fellow was a looker.) Not so, the music of my youth, especially the Great Satan: a black man under an Afro, sporting frilly outfits and burning his guitar was not the kind of role model that most Appalachian progenitors had in mind for their budding adolescent offspring. Who was this man that could spirit away the ears, minds and hearts of rural white boys? Who, indeed. This is the last of three sermons based on the lives and contributions of four African Americans: Billie Holiday, Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby, and, my mother’s chief adversary for her son’s soul, Jimi Hendrix.

  • Chapter 4 Like a Rolling Stone
    Chapter 4 Like a Rolling Stone OVERVIEW: In the early 1960’s the initial baby boomers were approaching college age. To them, the election of John F. Kennedy marked a new, more idealistic era. The next three years would witness the Bay of Pigs Invasion, Cuban Missile Crisis, the Civil Rights movement and the Free Speech Movement. To many teenagers, dance music seemed somehow shallow and trivial. College students began listening to dust-bowl era folksingers/balladeers such as Pete Seeger and developed an affinity with 1950’s Beat poets as a way of coming to terms with the turmoil and conflict in this new world. The new ideals were personal authenticity, individuality, and non-conformity. 1 Fidel Castro (1926-2016 ) John F.
