About this listen

 On September 18, 1970, Jimi Hendrix — the guitar virtuoso who redefined rock music with his explosive sound, groundbreaking techniques, and electric charisma — died suddenly in London at the age of 27. In just a few short years, he transformed the possibilities of the instrument, fusing blues, rock, and psychedelia into immortal performances like “Purple Haze,” “Voodoo Child (Slight Return),” and his legendary rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at Woodstock. With albums like Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love, and Electric Ladyland, Hendrix not only revolutionized how the guitar could be played, but how music itself could be imagined — his influence still echoing through generations of artists and fans.
