Comment:

Jimi Hendrix's influence is like a total eclipse, a shadow cast over an entire [i]world[/i] of music. Psychedelic, seductive, dangerous, and a drop-dead great guitarist — sound like someone you know? [i]Wrong answer[/i]. We're talkin' Prince, who prances all sexy-like through the first three-and-a-half minutes of "Let's Go Crazy," then unleashes a fret-frying climax that ends the only way it possibly could — in a cataclysmic shriek. If you hear Hendrix-style Strat poking out from behind the Isley Brothers' Courvoisier-smooth vocals in "That Lady (Part 1 & 2)," don't be surprised: Hendrix taught Ernie Isley how to play . . . left-handed, upside-down, and red-meat raw. Jimi's fingerprints are all over John Mayer's guitar in "Another Kind of Green," and as Mayer himself wrote, "[i]Every[/i] musician passes through Hendrix International Airport eventually." But what could Hendrix possibly show trumpeter Miles Davis, already a jazz icon before Jimi ever tied his first bandana? How about the path to the second half of his career, as Miles seized Hendrix's megawatt power to jumpstart jazz fusion, as you can hear in [i]The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions[/i]' "Right Off (Take 12)". From Pearl Jam to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, we've got all the voodoo children Jimi never knew he had.
