This biography seeks to authenticate the lost sessions, previously unknown recorded collaborations and rare film/video documents of one of the most innovative rock guitarists in music history. The life of Jimi Hendrix is celebrated through interviews with people who knew him well, including his father, Al Hendrix, musicians Carlos Santana and John McLaughlan, his lover and close companion Kathy Etchingham, and many others. The volume offers an analysis of Hendrix's unfinished album, First Ray of the New Rising Sun . There have been several attempts to finish it and the author explains why none of these have succeeded. He also explores Hendrix's journeys into jazz with Miles Davis, John McLaughlan and Rahsaan Roland Kirk. There is a foreword by Noel Redding, Hendrix's bass player from 1966 to 1969.
