Seen in this photo, taken one night at Electric Lady Studio in N.Y.C. Bob Levine Jimi's US manager, Gerard Jerry Guida, and the Legendary Jimi Hendrix. Taking a break from working on Jimi's new concept adding Gerard's Hammond B3 to his Electrifying Guitar. I remember Jimi giving me a

wha-wha pedal and an Echo Plex to put on to my Hammond B3.

     I also remember Bob Levine calling me one night to meet up with Jimi at Electric Lady Studio

at 2:00am in the morning, Jimi pulled a Tape out of Hey Baby, that was already recorded.

and wanted to experiment with me on how my Hammond with no Lesley speaker on it,

would sound going straight into a Marshal Amp.

Which you will hear in this Rare Recording from that night.....

    Unfortunately, after Jimi's untimely passing, this tape with many others were lost. Thankfully Jimi had made 2 cassette copies  from the master. which he gave one to me and kept the other for himself. Jimi was easy to work with, and he new how to bring the best out of you.

Only just recently I have found this one of a kind recordings of being with Jimi Hendrix in the studio. How magical was it to find this recording.

I spent about 8 months on and off with Jimi. My Hammond B3 was flown to the

Shokan  House from California.

I spent some of the time at the Shokan House Up State New York,

wear Jimi had a number of musicians there working on new Ideas that he wanted to develop.

I was at the house for just a short while a few months, Later on that year I was back in New York City

where i was spending some time in the studio with Jimi,

    This was an exciting time for me in my life. But three day's after the last night of recording,

Jimi Hendrix left to visit his girlfriend in London and told me he would see me when he returns.

 

     Then the news came on TV one night that Jimi Hendrix died. What a shock to all of us.

     And now after all these years, from a dear friend back in the 60's, I was given this photo.
