Authorized by the Hendrix Estate, JIMI HENDRIX is a stunning package that illuminates the life of a musical icon whose explosive style pioneered a new generation of rock and roll.
With exclusive access to the private family archives, in Jimi Hendrix: An Illustrated Experience (Atria Books; 0743297695; October 2007; $45.00) co-authors Janie Hendrix and John McDermott tell the vibrant and unique story of Jimi's life, from his formative years in hardscrabble Seattle through his short-lived days in the eye of a fanatic and dedicated public, to the aftermath of his sudden death and the wake of his legacy.
An indispensable addition to any music lover's library, this book is truly an interactive experience, featuring a portfolio of his original drawings, diary entries, rare handwritten song lyrics, and never-before-seen archival photographs. In addition to 30 interactive features, the book includes a 70-minute audio CD with interviews and commercially unreleased recordings of live concert music and a Record Plant jam session. While listening to Jimi work out musical riffs, and holding pieces of the ephemera that chronicle his life, you will experience Jimi Hendrix the way you were meant to: in full color
