AN INTERVIEW WITH THE LATE NOEL REDDDING, BASS PLAYER WITH THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE - Recorded 1988... a true piece of rock history never before seen. JIMI HENDRIX MURDERED? “NOT IMPROBABLE” SAYS NOEL REDDING... The name Jimi Hendrix conjures up some of the most colourful and wildest moments that the sixties produced. Hendrix arrived, he conquered and took the music world by storm, got inside your head and went onto the great gig in the sky - all by the age of 27. The Jimi Hendrix Experience , left you in no doubt that it was exactly that – an experience. A trio of musicians who came together from both sides of the Atlantic and found common ground, fame and for one third of the group not very much fortune. For Noel Redding the bass player in the group the experience was not to be forgotten. Since the death of Hendrix 40 years ago, much as been documented about him and the group. This never before seen interview with Noel Redding recorded at his home in Ireland in 1988 makes fascinating viewing. All the years of seeing film of them in concert and photographs of Hendrix, Redding and Mitchell, you find yourself sitting in a living room not with just a legend – but an ordinary guy talking about his early days with the group. No rock star ego here, no pretentious name dropping, just plain talking. Listening to him you are left wondering how they made it to top. For those interested in Hendrix, Redding and the history of sixties rock music this rare visual documentary should not be missed.
