Biography

The Jimi Hendrix Experience was a short-lived, highly influential rock band famous for the guitar work of Jimi Hendrix on songs such as Purple Haze, Foxy Lady, Hey Joe, Voodoo Child (Slight Return) and All Along the Watchtower. Though Hendrix was the focus and frontman, the other band members (Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell) were also vital to the "experience." Hendrix arrived in England in October 1966, and auditions were launched to find him a backing band.
