21:00 Session The Jimi Hendrix Songbook by Frank Schwinn
Peter Erskine: drums
Marty Ehrlich: reeds
Michael Formanek: bass
Jimi Hendrix left a lasting impact on the rock/pop music of the 60s and he
himself (unintentionally) became sort of musical mascot for the
Anti-Vietnam movement. Moreover, his influence was also felt in jazz and
recorded documentation still exists of his sessions with John McLaughlin,
among others. Gil Evans concluded a contract with Hendrix but died before
their co-work could begin. (In 1976, Evans released Gil Evans Plays the
Music of Jimi Hendrix, which featured Rio Kawasaki on guitar.) Even Miles
Davis expressed interest in launching a joint project with Hendrix. Tonight
Hendrix's music forms the basis of this Session, which will be competently
led by Frank Schwinn. As always, the Charts will be on hand in the P&B
garderobe. Woke Up This Morning and Found Myself Dead!
