Summary of This Book
Jimi Hendrix, la totale offers an in-depth dive into the heart of a meteoric career that, in just a few years, pushed the boundaries of rock and transformed the electric guitar into an instrument of sonic freedom. The work relies on direct sources and studio accounts to decode artistic choices, working methods, and the musical environment in which Hendrix shaped his language.
The journey is traced from his beginnings, notably as a sideman with the Isley Brothers and Little Richard, up to major posthumous releases such as "The Cry Of Love," "Jimi Hendrix: Blues," and the "BBC Sessions." Between these milestones, the book scrutinizes the official releases published during his lifetime, starting with the "grand mass" of the first singles of 1966, then following the creative ascent culminating in three essential studio albums: "Are You Experienced," "Axis: Bold As Love," and "Electric Ladyland."
Beyond the studio, Jimi Hendrix, la totale also includes two essential live confessions, "Live At Woodstock" and "Band Of Gypsys," to grasp the power of improvisation, group dynamics, and the stage impact of the guitar hero. Iconic tracks like Purple Haze, Foxy Lady, Little Wing, If Six Was Nine, Voodoo Chile, and Machine Gun come together here like pieces of a puzzle, offering a coherent reading of the "voodoo star" and his musical legacy.
