Jimi HENDRIX, Little RICHARD - Friends From The Beginning 1965

Jimi HENDRIX, Little RICHARD - Friends From The Beginning 1965
1972 Issue.2C 062-93762

Blues

Here, in a special collection are some of the events that happened for an all too breif moment, when that wheeling comet-force met with another cosmic happening… Jimi Hendrix. Here are some of their rare moments together… two friends.
**
The review title is singular because it's unlikely that Maurice James (aka Jimi Hendrix) is on any tracks, although this researcher believes there's a chance he *is* on "Whole Lotta Shakin'", "Goin' Home Tomorrow", "Hound Dog", "Goodnight, Irene", and "Money Honey", because it's been written that he worked occasionally with Don and Dewey prior to joining LR full-time around 12-64/01-65. Also, the guitar solos on these tracks do not sound (to me) in the same style as what was heard on "Tutti Frutti" live in '64 (Ace Records Little Richard box from 1989). I guess I'll defer, though to the strong belief that Jimi does play on at least three classic Richard tunes recorded in New York City in May of 1965, including "I Don't Know What You've Got (But It's Got Me)", the penultimate soul ballad.
It must be said at this juncture that all of the above numbers first heard on a Vee Jay album in 1964 are presented here in long, stereo versions. (It appears that only *10* LR Vee Jays have been released in real stereo!).
A highlight is an alternate take [alternate edit?] of Hank Williams' "Why Don't You Love Me?", somewhat better than the cut pressed for the Reprise collection from 2005. A very impressive, new approach for the multi-faceted Architect - too bad a whole album of similarly re-imagined Country standards couldn't have been produced. (His "Southern Child" album, reportedly prepared for issue around the time of this Ala release, was all new, progressive tunes).
There are two especially curious instrumentals here, "Belle Stars" and "Funky Dish Rag" (both tracks are presumed to be alternate mixes of other-titled tunes on the Reprise set], which make one think that someone forgot to factor in a sax, piano, or guitar solo, so as give the listener the impression that they're listening to something more than a backing track. The non-singing workouts on "Lucille", "Keep A-Knockin'", and "Long Tall Sally" (titled "Tutti Frutti"), pulsatin' as they are, and probably including that keyboard man, are terribly undermined by a lead guitarist having to play by-the-numbers. In this case, we *can* say, no-way-that's-Jimi Hendrix!!

Jimi HENDRIX & Traffic - A Session 1968-1970

Jimi HENDRIX & Traffic - A Session 1968-1970
Bootleg

Blues

A tape of jams billed as Hendrix and Traffic has circulated among collectors for years. Some of the material is also on the bootleg CD Jimi Hendrix & Traffic: A Session. A purely instrumental affair, alternately dated as 1968 or 1970, this studio material is among the most intriguing unreleased pieces of either performer. The lineup is listed as Jimi Hendrix (guitar), Steve Winwood (piano), Chris Wood (flute), Rick Grech (bass), and Jim Capaldi (drums), but the actual lineup of these recordings is uncertain. Only Hendrix is identifiable with certainty. The overall sound resembles Traffic, and the piano and flute parts seem particularly recognizable as Steve and Chris, respectively.

The music on the tape consists of seven jams that, in contrast to Traffic's usual melodic sensibilities, range from minor key to almost atonal structure. Some of the magic of the "Voodoo Chile" session is also evident on this recording. The jams sound basically spontaneous, organized around particular keys with shifting tempos, and lack a distinct song structure. None of them sound like they were even intended to have vocal parts. For the most part, the piano and drums drive the rhythms while the guitar and flute solo. The extraordinary aspect of the recording is the complementary interplay between Jimi and Chris. While Jimi builds upon driving vamps that eventually erupt into molten solos, Chris counterbalances with his usual delicate, mellowing flute. The result of this collaboration is at least interesting, and sometimes magical. Unlike other Hendrix jam sessions, Jimi seems to have a lot of respect for Traffic and doesn't fully dominate the proceedings, which makes the session perhaps unique to both entities.

The bootleg CD, Jimi Hendrix & Traffic: A Session (CD, Oh Boy 1-9027, Luxembourg), consists of three jams of excellent quality studio recordings. The insert states that the session "was recorded at an unknown place in the late 60's". Credits are Jimi Hendrix (guitar), Chris Wood (flute and saxophone), Jim Capaldi (drums), and Steve Winwood (organ). In the book Jimi Hendrix: Electric Gypsy (1995), by Harry Shapiro and Caesar Glebbeek, the well researched discography section lists the CD as released in late 1990, and recorded in 1968 or 1969.

Jimi HENDRIX - Are You Experienced 1967

Jimi HENDRIX - Are You Experienced 1967
1968 Issue. SLPHM-107

Blues

As emblematic of its time as of its sorcerer-like creator, 1967's Are You Experienced unleashed Jimi Hendrix onto a world in the midst of such cultural and musical shakeups that it really didn't seem as "far out" as it actually was. It wasn't just Hendrix's virtuosic skill as a pure player that was so impressive; it was, even more, the range and scope of sheer sound that he coaxed, cajoled, and ripped out of his instrument. "Purple Haze," "Manic Depression," and "I Don't Live Today" filled ears with indelible sonic images, and songs like "Foxey Lady" and "Fire" pointed the way toward a new brand of rock-charged soul music. And how about a hand for drummer Mitch Mitchell?

Jimi HENDRIX - Jimi By Himself 1968

PDP 1006
Bootleg

Blues

Something of this stature deserves a review. Out of all of the various Hendrix "bootlegs" I have acquired over the years, nothing even comes close to the quality of the sound presented here. It's as if you're sitting in Jimi's apartment with the master and just kicking back and listening to him play right fucking there. And the master fails to disappoint, breathing life into songs before they were ever recorded. If I could only keep one thing besides Hendrix' released material it would be this- hands down.
**
This is Jimi alone in his apartment in New York sometime in 1968, rehearsing songs that would be on Electric Ladyland with just a guitar, one mike, and a small amp.

The sound quality is what is absolutely stunning about these songs---there is virtually no tape hiss, dead silence in ambient background, just Jimi, playing very relaxed and laid-back.  You can hear him turning pages of sheet music during some bridges and breaks between songs, and just when you think you've heard everything, the phone rings (and goes unanswered) near the end of the album.

I was trying to figure out why the sound quality on this would be so unbelieveable, and it dawned on me that at the time, guys like Jimi and Pete Townshend and the Stones could virtually afford the very best sound recording equipment available.  So it's not a stretch to think of the best Neumann mike, the best Revox or Studer reel-to-reel being used to put these songs down.

There's not a lot of jaw-dropping pyrotechnics (although some picking during Voodoo Chile / Cherokee Mist is enough to make you shake your head), just lots of rhythm strumming and some great singing on these songs.

I've played these songs for a good friend of mine from England who is a record producer, and he was in shock, amazed to have heard just how fresh, raw (and brilliant) a solo rehearsal from Jimi could be.  

Just another musician, sitting at home working on some tunes...
