Among those contributing are Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell who worked with Jimi Hendrix in the Jimi Hendrix Experience, legendary singer and keyboard virtuoso Steve Winwood, Eddie Kramer who engineered the Electric Ladyland studio sessions and, in his last interview, Chas Chandler who was responsible for nurturing Hendrix`s early success and who managed his career.; ; Complete with fascinating footage of Hendrix and an equally enthralling musical soundtrack this electrifying program provides a revealing insight into the life, work and musical genius of a rock music legend.
